Attack Theatre updates WWI's 'The Soldier's Tale'

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Most fables date back to vague antiquity, but "The Soldier's Tale" was created during World War I, which makes it a relatively modern story.
Composer Igor Stravinsky and novelist Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz wrote it in 1915 in Switzerland. Cut off from their sources of income, they created a little theater piece for a few actors and a handful of musicians that could tour from town to town to earn a little money. As often is the case, external limitations spurred the creative fires.
