Brief Description: SIUE University Theater presents "Daugher" and "Son" by Cassandra Medley
SIUE welcomes award-winning playwright Cassandra Medley to campus for the presentation of her connected one-act plays: Daughter and Son. In Daughter, a mother tries to reckon with injuries suffered by her daughter while serving in the U.S. military in Iraq. In Son, on the occasion of his sister's wedding, a man struggles with haunting flashbacks to the war and the bomb he dropped on a wedding party. In addition, Ms. Medley has been commissioned to create a third, original play that will premiere at this SIUE production.
