''The War at Home;; is a play written by James Duff (1955-) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Duff_(writer)].

Genre: Drama
Author: Duff, James
First presented in London under the title ''The War at Home'' and then produced on Broadway, this play blends comedy and tragedy as it examines the dilemma of a middle-class Texan family unable to comprehend or cope with the deep-seated disaffection of their Vietnam veteran son. The scene is set on Thanksgiving Day, 1973, and the mood is one of excited preparation and warm-hearted humour. But Jeremy, who has only recently returned from service in Vietnam, incites a series of violent confrontations borne of his sarcastic and deeply bitter exchanges with his family. The mood quickly changes to one of rage and hurt, building to an explosive climax.
