Staged Reading: The Guys

A A A Comments By Olivia Flores Alvarez Thursday, Sep 8 2011

Some 343 New York City firefighters were lost during the 9/11 attacks. That meant 343 funerals, 343 grieving families and 343 eulogies. The Guys, by Anne Nelson, is a drama centered on one fire captain who was responsible for writing some of those eulogies. A writer tasked with helping him to make each of those eulogies personal and meaningful helps him to craft vivid, alternately heartbreaking and uplifting portraits of the guys; ordinary men who were caught in extraordinary circumstances and rose to the occasion.
