Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. "An African-American Sergeant's 1944 murder in a Louisiana Army camp is investigated by his white captain and a black outsider, with shocking results."
""A Soldier's Play takes place in a Louisiana army camp in 1944. Capt. Taylor (Nick Thompson) the white C.O. has a problem. He commands a black company whose sergeant (Harold X Evans) has been murdered. He is worried the murderer may be a white officer or the local Klan. A black captain (Anthony Bean) is assigned to investigate and Taylor tries to discourage him because he feels the assigning of a black investigator means the case is to be swept under the rug. Capt. Davenport perseveres and, as he probes deeper, he finds the black soldiers are as corrupted with hatred as the whites. Each one had a motive for the killing. Davenport solves the case- and the truth is even more shocking than the murder itself."
