 Wiedza przeciętnego człowieka na temat Australii z reguły nie jest zbyt duża. Ten odległy kraj i kontynent zarazem, kojarzymy zazwyczaj z operą w Sydney, pociesznymi misiami koala i wszechobecnymi, skaczącymi kangurami.

When Montgomery Clift first appeared on the screen in 1948 he was a completely new kind of actor: painfully sensitive, almost effeminately beautiful, and quite free of the tough-guy trappings of Hollywood's standard leading men. The roles he subsequently created in such classic films as A Place in the Sun, From Here to Eternity and The Misfits influenced a generation of moodily introverted young rebels and won the hearts of women the world over....

In this volume, Streamers, the story of a group of paratroopers desperately attempting to cope with the chaos of their emotions when they are ordered to Vietnam, is paired with The Orphan, a brilliant synthesis of classic Greek drama and the conflicted character of contemporary America. War is not a political phenomenon but an elemental force, a human inevitability, like love or death, and Rabe's plays encompass it as such.
