The Dove Nest

The Dove Nest is the title of a play and film written by J.R. Herard. The project began early development in 2012, and slowly evolved into a workshop reading occurring in 2016, before being reworked afterwards. It is still in an unproduced form, with new revisions of the script being worked on since the workshop performance.

Set in the summer of 1968, The Dove Nest follows Johnny Raymond, a college student, military hopeful, and avid supporter of the Vietnam War. His older brother, Davy, returns home from the frontlines after circumstances kept hidden from family, and he is not the same man he was before he went over. Along the way, Johnny comes across a group of hippies who are just as passionate about ending the war as Johnny is about fighting in it. When things take a turn for the worst, Johnny must consider whether or not the war is worth it, let alone whether or not he should enlist.
