Rundown (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780881457681)

RUNDOWN is the story of Pay, a Vietnam veteran, who is involved in a civilian massacre, and his best friend, Spear, a radical antiwar activist, whose activities lead to the death of two American soldiers.

"... He leaps out with a fresh vision, rich use of language and poetic imagery, a clear understanding of the vein of violence that runs beneath the top-soil of civilization.
In all this, he's often compared to early Sam Shepard, and correctly so. RUNDOWN is one of the best Vietnam era plays yet written."
Bernard Weiner, San Francisco Chronicle

"RUNDOWN is not just another painful epic about yet another battered Vietnam vet returned from the wars. It is a probing theatrical invention that pits emotional and intellectual recall against the spectrum of forces without and within us that channel and forge our lives....
...What ranks this piece above the commonplace is its impressionistic style, arresting metaphors and vivid imagery. The vigorous writing speaks in human terms. The poetic drama remembers to create characters of flesh and blood while discussing ideas."
Sylvie Drake, Los Angeles Times
