    The Echo Theater Company presents Body Politic, a new play by acclaimed playwright Jessica Goldberg. It's the story of a screenwriter trying to access Ward 57 of Walter Reed Hospital, where soldiers who have suffered cataclysmic injuries in Iraq recover, but she is refused by an Army captain. What occurs between them is the surprising and poignant story of what can happen when people with deep commitments and beliefs come to recognize each other's humanity.
