Set in London during the Blitz, "Front" tells the story of a group of women

effects on the home
front.  "Front" was selected by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lanford Wilson as the 
winner of the 1996
Freedom Forum Peace Play Award.  Since its premiere, it has been staged at 
theatres across the
country, most notably at the prestigious Sundance Institute Writers Lab, 
Philadelphia Arts Bank
Theatre, and most recently, by A Reasonable Facsimile Theatre Company at the 
Conservatory in
Chicago.
