About This Project
NO ONE COMES BACK When one twin goes to war, can the other escape it? When her twin brother is deployed as a fighter pilot, a sister finds herself in a war she never signed up for. Bombings, cornfields, deer eyeballs, and shamans—No One Comes Back is a true story about war, twinhood, and what it means to save each other when no one really comes back. The play moves between rural US-American childhood and the wildly different paths the twins take as adults. One heads into military service, the other into art school, Berlin, and a string of questionable survival strategies. With humor and candor, it asks how families carry violence by proxy, how love persists under pressure, and if late-night phone calls can bridge the distance between two twins at risk of losing themselves. No One Comes Back is a raw, unforgettable story about the ways we wage war and the complicated love that shapes us, whether we want it to or not.
