WAR DADDY [2]

Jim Grimsley

The Play: War Daddy tells the story of two groups of orphaned teenagers drafted against their will into feuding militia groups in an unnamed war-torn country. One group travels with Eddie, the son of a famous general, General Potent; while the other group, led by General Handsome, aims to capture Potent’s son and use him to barter for more power. As the teens fight for survival, they struggle to comprehend what it means to engage in a war that has raged for so long that no one remembers when it began, or why. When the two groups finally collide, the resolution is anything but expected. War Daddy examines what happens when future generations inherit the battles we begin, asking the question: What is the meaning of peace if it’s something we have to kill for?

Time and Place: The Future. A war-torn small town in a nameless country.

The Scene: Mouth, a young female soldier in Handsome’s group, often speaks for the group and serves as leader, although she misses all the grown-ups who are no longer around to fulfill this role.
