The play, written by Archer's husband Terry Jastrow, traces
Fonda's 1988 meeting with U.S. war veterans, who had staged
demonstrations to halt the production of a film she was working
on because of her past campaigns against the Vietnam War.
While the content of the meeting was never divulged according to
the play synopsis, Jastrow spoke with Fonda and dozens of
veterans in research for the drama, which debuted at the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014 and now has additional scenes
and a new director for its July 13-Aug. 20 run in London.
"I think it's a story of war and peace, of why do we fight these
unnecessary wars, why do we get involved, what are the losses
there," Archer told Reuters. "I think we can all relate to this
story around the world and I think it's a story that must be
told."
