Lab Theatre in the Booker T. Washington Building
Written by Shirley Lauro
Directed by David Britt
Called “the most enduring play on Vietnam in the nation,” Shirley Lauro’s "A Piece
of My Heart" is a deeply affecting portrayal of the wartime service of six female
veterans. With unflinching honesty, the women recount heartrending stories from their
tours of duty, struggling to make sense of a war that irrevocably changed them and
a nation that turned against them.
Contains adult content. Not appropriate for children.

There have been a number of plays dealing with Vietnam...but none with the direct, emotional impact of Ms. Lauro’s work…a disturbing drama that evokes empathy for survivors as victims.
