It is a biting satire of a middle-class family and their reaction to losing a son in Vietnam.[2][3] ProductionsThe play was produced in New Haven in 1969[4] and at the Provincetown Playhouse, New York City, 1971.[5] It was produced by Solid Hang at the Collective Unconscious, New York, in September 2005.[6] ConceptThis play is one of several of McNally's that dealt with the Vietnam and Iraq wars: Botticelli (1968), Witness (1968), and Some Men (2007). Peter Wolfe (professor of English at the University of Missouri-St. Louis) notes that Bringing It All Back Home is an anti-war play, and also examines the family.[7] PlotThe father of the household makes obscene phone calls while his teen son and daughter fight about the illegal drugs at their high school; the mother blots it all out. Then the body of their son Jimmy, killed in the Vietnam war, arrives. A television station wants to film their reactions. Jimmy arises and wonders why he died.
