Photo Flash: ELLIOT, A SOLDIER'S FUGUE Comes to the Canterbury Family Main Stage Theatre

Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatist Quiara Alegria Hudes takes a poignant look at the way war permeates young men's lives in a play spanning three generations of the same Puerto Rican-American family. Elliot is a Marine Corps hero back from Iraq with an injured leg and a Purple Heart. His Pop was wounded in Vietnam; his flute-playing Grandpop fought in Korea.

Hudes' spare, intense, and poetically resonant play speaks to the personal cost of war across the ages.
