Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2006 play by Shirley Lauro to remind us that The Vietnam War was just as horrific for the women involved.The two-act play follows six women (four nurses, a Red Cross volunteer, and an intelligence officer) before, during, and after the war. Said jumble of characters includes Sissy, a rather naive but sweet girl from Pennsylvania; Whitney, a seemingly prim and proper Vassar graduate with a secret; Martha, an army brat who discovers Vietnam might be more than she bargained for; Steele, an African-American woman who despite being the most capable of the lot seems to always get treated as the Cassandra; Maryjo, a country-rock singer and professional ditz who goes over to entertain the troops; and Leeann, the half-Chinese, half-Italian who just wanted to go to Hawaii, but instead gets routinely mistaken for Vietnamese.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) |

Black and Nerdy: Steele, somewhat, as she is arguably the most intelligent out of all the characters. |

Freak Out |

comment |
Freak Out: Every character, one by one, starting midway through Act II. That's what you get when your psyche's been slowly, painfully eroded by war experience. |
