A Piece of My Heart

This award-winning drama tells the true stories of six courageous women who served in Vietnam and their struggle to make sense of a war that irrevocably changed both them and the nation that shunned them. Winner of the Barbara Deming Prize for Women Playwrights and the Kitteredge Foundation Award, A Piece of My Heart has enjoyed over 800 productions worldwide, including a command performance in Washington, DC, at the dedication of the statue to Vietnam nurses. Charged with contemporary resonances and told with straightforward authenticity. Theirs are profound stories of triumph and reconciliation, separating the soldier from the politics of war.
