An explosively powerful drama by Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks. Father Comes Home from the Wars is set during the Civil War and follows a slave named Hero through the mess of war, the cost of freedom and the heartbreak of love. A devastatingly beautiful dramatic work filled with music, wit, and great lyricism about holding on to who we are and what we love in a country that both brings us together and rips us apart.
