Til The Boys Come Home

A small town torn apart by war,

by Charles Robertson

Warning! Disturbing scenes.

The story of the boys who went to war

And the girls they left behind

A story of a small town
and the young people
whose lives are torn apart by the second world war

This two act play is an ideal script for highschools and community theatre. An ensemble cast of 8 males and five females. Most of the cast has to be young; in their late teens or early twenties except for the owner of the restaurant and the sergeant. The play is broken down into five scenes opening with a restaurant scene, followed by a barracks scene, and a dance to send off the boys to end the first act. The second act opens with a scene on the battlefield in Holland and closes with the poignant last scene in the small town restaurant where the play started.

The play requires singing, music and dance as well as military uniforms and battle gear.

Sample

Maybe it seems kinda cold, but we just tried to put Ralphie out of our minds
Course in a small town, that's hard to do.
There are so many reminders
His house on the corner
That stupid ol' green bike that he used to pedal around in
The tree fort
It was hard to forget
I mean you couldn't go to the restaurant without thinkin' of Ralphie.
Ralphie ate like a pig
He was like an eagre to please puppy
When he's around, you're a little annoyed
But when he's gone
there's this...hole.

Some never came back
Some had nothing to come back to
