The play “Cry ‘Havoc!’,” the final production of the season, is on stage at the Peterborough Players.
“Cry ‘Havoc!’” features playwright Stephan Wolfert as himself, recounting his own experiences as a veteran and with the help of Shakespeare’s most iconic speeches, leads us on an interactive journey to meet veterans and bring us face to face with one of the most vexing military — and civilian — problems of our time.
After two years of paralysis from a high school sports injury — after six years in the United States Army — after a full blown transition into a classic case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, actor and veteran Stephan Wolfert succeeded and came out the other side to tell his story — and others.
“We are all connected to a military vet in some way and their issues are our issues, whether we like it or not,” says the play’s original director Eric Tucker. “You may enjoy ‘Cry ‘Havoc!’’ as a piece of theatre and perhaps even as a tool for social awareness, but our hope is that it stays with you long after — as a guide to identifying, appreciating, and nurturing the veterans of your own community.”
The show is rated PG-13. Performances will be held through Sept. 18, Wednesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 4 p.m.
Tickets are available by calling the box office at 924-7585 or online at www.peterboroughplayers.org.
