Description

This is the non-public and deeply passionate story of a life dedicated to reclaiming the undying power of an ancient artistic tradition to comfort the afflicted. For years, theater director Bryan Doerries has led an leading edge public health project that produces ancient tragedies for current and returned soldiers, addicts, tornado and hurricane survivors, and a variety of other at-risk other folks in society.

The originality and generosity of Doerries’s work is startling, and The Theater of War—wholly unsentimental, but intensely felt and emotionally engaging—is a humane, an expert, and accessible book with a purpose to both inspire and enlighten. Tracing a path that links the non-public to the artistic to the social and back again, Doerries shows us how suffering and healing are a part of a undying process during which dialogue and empathy are inextricably linked.
