About
This short but slow drama by Jessica Goldberg about a screenwriter who wants to make a film about recovering vets at Walter Reed crisscrosses conversations in a way that is meant to suggest unexpected similarities between Hollywood and the Pentagon, liberal and conservative hard-liners and however you care to describe the two sides at loggerheads over the Iraq war. Tense and talky, the work (scrupulously directed by Chris Fields) rewards concentration with flashes of insight, but the playwright still seems uncertain of the quarry she's stalking.
