Edge of Peace
“This is the town of Ware. W.A.R.E. Streets, three. Houses, fifteen. Farms, ten. Churches, four. A garage, sawmill and a store. Not much more. Down in town a boy waits…”
Buddy, the younger brother of a soldier declared missing in action, refuses to believe what appears inevitable. Through the visual poetry of sign language, Tuc, the local deaf postman, leads patrons through the touching story of a small community struggling to make sense of a world at war.
One of the nation’s leading playwrights for family audiences, Suzan Zeder’s plays have been performed in all fifty states, Canada, Great Britain, Japan, Australia, Germany, Israel and New Zealand. She is a professor at The University of Texas Department of Theatre and Dance.
Age Recommendation:
Ages 10 and up – Soldiers returning from war and families suffering while their loved ones are away are timely topics. Implications of war and the intersection of multiple stories lines may be difficult for children under 10 years of age.
