The War Hasn’t Started Yet — 8 short stories about life.
A woman, after a conference in another city, far from her husband and children, has sex in a hotel with a man for whom this is his very first time.
A son visits his elderly parents for just one day after a long separation.
A strange young woman and a taciturn laborer are waiting in line to see a therapist.
A news anchor tries to convince his wife at home that the news reports are fake.
A young father talks about how he quit smoking.
An abusive husband finds his wife’s diary, in which she writes about an affair with a neighbor.

In short, these are brief scenes from the lives of a wide variety of people—both funny and sad—that take place before the war has even begun.

Audiences are sure to have an unforgettable theatrical experience as the action unfolds in a truly intimate space, where there is almost no boundary between the stage and the audience. There is only the audience, the actors, and the performance.

The play contains profanity.
