BACKWARDS
FORWARDS BACK

by Jacqueline Goldfinger

Directed by Brendan Ragan

A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere

March 24 - April 23, 2023

When a soldier returns from war carrying the ghosts of his tour, he’s faced with a sobering decision: address his alarming PTSD with Virtual Reality therapy, or risk losing access to his family forever. Can this new technology re-calibrate the brains and bodies of wounded soldiers? 

 

This electric, vivid, one-man drama studies the power of healing and finding

strength in vulnerability.
