Based on Tim O'Brien's remarkable book from 1990, this one-man show inventories the memories a Vietnam War veteran carries through life. Actor/storyteller Jim Stowell is the narrator, carefully unspooling O'Brien's expertly crafted tales from foxholes and battlefields — and from a fishing boat on the Rainy River in northern Minnesota, where the young man nearly deserts to Canada. "I was a coward," Stowell tells the audience, repeating one of O'Brien's famous passages. "I went to war." Stowell has a light-footed way of shifting mannerisms and voice to inhabit the book's various characters, from war buddies to a daughter born long after the conflict. His stage adaptation is engaging, evocative and highly recommended to anyone carrying stories — whether experienced firsthand or inherited — from this terrible war.
