The Human Terrain
March 19th - April 11th, 2015
March 19 – April 11, 2015 at HATTheatre
by Jennifer Blackmer
In this compelling military thriller, Mabry Hoffman, an anthropologist with The Human Terrain System, a real military initiative that embeds social scientists with combat units in Iraq and Afghanistan, is caught in the middle of an ethical dilemma as she tries to help a new friend. Blackmer’s two-act work is a taut, tense treatise that looks at the conflict that results when a civilian thrust into a combat situation must decide where her loyalties truly lie. Can her ‘gray’ world fit into a black and white war zone that can quickly desensitize human emotions or elevate them to their highest level?
