1982 Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama. In a segregated Louisiana Army camp in 1944, the murder of a rancorous Black sergeant stirs deep seated animosity and corruption among the soldiers under his command. When a clean-cut Northern captain arrives to investigate, truths are confessed and a shocking secret is revealed.
Trigger warning: Audience members are advised that we will be performing Charles Fuller’s play as written, including very strong language, racial slurs, and physical violence attendant to the play’s storyline, time, place, and message. There will also be startling gunshot sound effects.
