En route to scheduled performances at three major Fringe Festivals, actor David Kleinberg will bring his gritty and true to life 70-minute solo piece on his year as an army combat correspondent in Vietnam. The show traces his journey in Vietnam from arriving in country as a 23-year-old supporter of the war, then following as he slowly shifts his position as the year unfolds, returning home to protest the war after a tragic rocket attack.
Kleinberg interweaves his solo performance with video clips from LBJ's "Why Vietnam" speech, his own 8mm film of the destruction of a Vietnamese village "for no good reason", scenes from Bob Hope's USO tour and Mike Wallace's reporting on the rocket attack.
PARENTS: This show includes strong language, adult themes and video of an actual attack on a Vietnamese village and is not intended for children.
