Lexington Children's Theatre,

"Swapping
tales around the campfire on the eve of his first battle, the
reality of war begins to darken Henry's thoughts. After the
ensuing battle the next day, Henry is never the same. Primal fear,
instinctive self-preservation, courage, cowardice, mayhem and his
first encounter of death all swiftly initiate Henry into manhood, and
the brutal intimacy of war."
