If you like plays about the human psyche and people being pushed to their absolute physical and emotional limits, you should spend an evening with Wasteland. A 20-something POW, Joe (Nate Burger), clings to shreds of sanity after being underground for 6 months when Riley (Steve Haggard) is dumped into the hole next door. These two men squabble, bicker, joke, and bond over the shared experience of captivity and their differing views of the current Vietnam war. Two people who would repulse each other in any other circumstance find themselves holding on to each other for dear life.
