Abstract
Therapy and Resistance is a one man play about the madness of war and the madness that surrounds it. Set in 1968, a cataclysmic year of civil strife in America, the play tells the story of the Vietman War draft resistance movement and the attempts of oe draftee to get a deferment as he pretends to be a "manic-depressive schizophrenic with paranoid tendencies."
