It’s 1885, and Raina’s bourgeois Bulgarian family is caught up in the heady patriotism of the battle with Serbia. The stunning, headstrong Raina eagerly awaits her fiancé’s victorious return from battle – but instead meets a soldier who seeks asylum in her bedroom. This is one soldier who definitely prefers love and chocolates to fear and bullets. War could be raging over the battlefield, but it is the battle of the sexes that heats up this extraordinary humor and offers very different notions of appreciate and war.

An L.A. Theater Works full-cast overall performance featuring Al Espinosa, Jeremy Sisto, Teri Garr, Anne Heche, Micahel Winters, Jason Kravits and Sarah Rafferty.
