Henry Leaves Home, A General Commands His Troops!
Lexington Children's Theatre, 2010 Production

 "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."
Lexington-Herald Leader
