1. Streamers by David Rabe
The play delves into the turbulent lives of American soldiers waiting to be deployed to Vietnam from their barracks in Virginia in the late 1960s. It explores the intense emotional conflicts that arise from issues of racism, homophobia, and fear of the unknown future. The narrative focuses on four young soldiers—Billy, Roger, Richie, and Carlyle—each grappling with their own personal demons and prejudices. As tensions rise, the claustrophobic atmosphere of the army base becomes a powder keg of emotions, leading to a violent and tragic conclusion that underscores the devastating impact of war on the human psyche.
