Synopsis:
Melancholia is a unique look at mental and emotional damage inflicted on service men and women and their families after experiencing combat. The play explores the subject matter previously examined by such works as The Men and Jacob's Ladder from a specifically Latino cultural perspective.

Young Mario and his best buddy enlist, infused with patriotism and the desire to do something useful and valuable with their lives. Mario returns home a shattered soul, with blood and guilt on his hands, burdened by the shock and trauma of war, as he descends into a spiral of violence, alcoholism, and clinical depression. Mario's delusions include two tattered clowns, Tar and Skittles, who try to help him figure it all out.
