A side of Penang

I recently reviewed Penang. I didn't care for the script.
Martin Denton reviewed it and seemed to like it a lot.

I was listening to an interview with the playwright on Broadway Bullet, and he had some interesting things to say- he himself has been in combat, and he said that he hates the war movie trope where the men turn on each other and end up causing each other's destruction, and so wrote Penang to counteract that, to show how men in war come to love and support each other- as evidenced by a man throwing himself on a grenade to protect the rest of his troop.

...but that's not the play he wrote. Penang mainly takes place out of war. Everyone who dies in the play dies through accident, and not while in combat. The two leads meet and come to be close comrades while on R&R (in the titular country)- they certainly rail against war, and lose their faith in god, and comfort each other, but they never actually serve together.

I'd like to see the play he thought he was writing.
