Shreds of Tenderness is a heart-rending, masterfully crafted play which is replete with shocking revelations and reversals.Not long ago, a tyrant took over the reins ofgovernment and unleashed terror throughout theMotherland. Wak fled .Throughout the first half of the play, we are led tobelieve that Odie, Wak's brother, is the innocenthomeboy with the right to speak for those whoremained to fight for the Motherland. Conversely,Wak is depicted as a pest of the highest order who
comes home from a "comfortable" exile to sponge on the hard-earned harvest of those who stayed, fought and brought a semblance of peace to the nation.
Some things are not what they seem to be, or are they? Wak unexpectedly comes back home. What follows is one of the most brilliant creations of any
drama.
