Soldier's Play, A

Soldier's Play, A
at the height of World War II, tensions were brewing overseas as U.S. armed Forces engaged in a fight for freedom. Yet, at home, many individuals within U.S. armed Forces were engaged in another fight: the fight for equality. This fight is the backdrop of this timeless piece which delves into the investigation of a murdered officer on a military base in Tynin, Louisiana.
