THE LAST OF THE BOYS runs June 23-July 3

THE LAST OF THE BOYS
Presented by Brookville Community Theatre 
June 23-July 3
Brookville

Steven Dietz’s intricate and moving drama, THE LAST OF THE BOYS, is about a relationship that ends, and a war that never does. The focus of the play is the friendship between Benand Jeeter, two Vietnam War Veterans, who for 30 years have remained friends, despite their differences.  It takes place the last summer of the 20th century in a godforsaken trailer park that has become a toxic wasteland, where Ben is the last holdout. Jeeter has brought his newest young girlfriend, Salyer, to meet Ben. When Salyer’s mother, Loraine, comes looking for her daughter, ghosts and memories of the  war come pouring out, as these four people mix booze with feelings that can never quite be resolved.
