ABOUT THE PLAY
A gay man who saved children during a mass shooting, suffers from survivor's guilt and cannot control his temper. A behavioral therapist persuades her husband, a Marine sergeant who lost men in Afghanistan, someone also damaged from being treated as a hero, to talk to him. Instead of helping one another, each man tries to goad the other to commit suicide. The people who love these men — one's husband and mother, the other's wife — do what they can to save them both. Each man comes to understand what it really means to be honorable, and the necessity of honoring others.
