"The Silver King's War" is a podcast series (with episode transcripts available on Applecast) of World War II plays (The Silver King, Marauder Men, Serviceman and Who Is Della) based on true events about a young man, Stanley Silverfield, who joins the United States Army Air Corps to serve his country as a Martin Marauder B-26 Bombardier flying in the 9th Air Force.&nbsp; Stanley wrote letters to his family throughout World War II from January 1943 to October 1945. An exploration of his war letters, “Dearest Ones,” follows the four plays.&nbsp; The series concludes with a trilogy of plays, "The Silverfields of Northbrook," which follows the family's 1950s Midwest suburban life.
