Description
Book SynopsisWinner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 1982
A black sergeant cries out in the night, They still hate you, then is shot twice and falls dead.
Set in 1944 at Fort Neal, a segregated army camp in Louisiana, Charles Fuller''s forceful drama--which has been regularly seen in both its original stage and its later screen version starring Denzel Washington--tracks the investigation of this murder. But A Soldier''s Play is more than a detective story: it is a tough, incisive exploration of racial tensions and ambiguities among blacks and between blacks and whites that gives no easy answers and assigns no simple blame.
