The Lonely Clouds of Guernica
T1493928062
It started with a photograph of a soldier at a ceremony in Kabul for a fallen comrade. On his neck, a tattoo read: "God Forgive Me." An inescapable thought followed: What happens when you return home with that? This moving and funny love story ponders why Tony Blair and George W. Bush wanted Pablo Picasso's haunting anti-war masterpiece, Guernica, covered at the U.N. when it was needed most. And asks whether Wordsworth's idea of wandering lonely as a cloud is preferable to the anti-psychotic medication doled out to returning solders. All the letters appearing in the play are written by fallen servicemen.
