Chicago Dramatists opens its 34th season with this world-premiere drama by their resident playwright M.E.H. Lewis. Inspired by recent research, Freshly Fallen Snow finds the pioneer of a controversial new technique to edit traumatic memories working with a badly-scarred female Iraq War veteran. But the woman she really wants to help is her mother, whose long-buried pain was set off by the Dresden firestorm of World War II. This new play, directed by Meghan Beals McCarthy, is sure to resonate with those concerned about the plight of our recently-returned combat veterans.

$20.00 - $32.00
Our Price:

Following a tour of duty in Vietnam, Frank returns home to a changed world. Although things may look the same on the surface, his Midwestern hometown is no longer the same place that he left. Now the soldier finds himself trapped between the harsh realities of war and the day-to-day absurdity of normality. While he navigates the difficult acclimatization to civilian life, he must come to terms with the distance separating him from his family, his old life of cars and Sunday dinners, and the annual iconic high school homecoming football game.

I felt that the director miscast 2 of the actors (or at a minimum, they needed A LOT more coaching on German accents!) The main character (not the actress) was a little flat--she needed more back story or dimension. I think there's still room for improvement on this piece as a whole, but it was worth seeing because the premise was very interesting.
