“The Enemy” is a military Punch and Judy show that raises questions about war, murder and consequence. Joe enlists in the army because he wants to kill Nick, his sworn enemy. He comes into conflict with authority figures who applaud his attack on the Enemy but condemn his desire to revenge himself on a single man.  Moral ambiguities arise concerning the difference between killing for one’s country and killing for one’s personal sense of justice. And it’s funny.
