Description

A Soldier's Play by Charles Fuller Set against the backdrop of racial tensions in 1944 America, this powerful drama follows a murder investigation at a segregated army camp. A black sergeant's cry echoes through the night, "They still hate you," before he is shot twice and falls dead. As the story unfolds, Fuller explores the complex relationships between blacks and whites, offering no easy answers or simple blame. The result is a tough, incisive exploration of the ambiguities at the heart of racial tensions in America during World War II. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1982, A Soldier's Play has been widely acclaimed for its thought-provoking portrayal of a pivotal moment in American history.
