Dyin' FreeDyin' Free
Synopsis:
Cole, a slave, struggles with the prospect of escaping--the personal struggles and danger it would mean for his family. Escape would also mean forgoing all the trust and faith his "owner," Mr. Jones, had invested in Cole. After much thought, and arguing with his wife, Cole agrees that an opportunity for freedom is worth sacrificing his fairly contented life as a slave. their plan of escape, however, is found out. Cole must come face to face with Mr. Jones and suffer the consequences. the cost is great. the slave gives his life for individual freedom. the slave owner keeps his life but ultimately loses as he sacrifices his individual freedom and thought to the societal attitudes that he knows in his heart are wrong. "Dyin' Free" is not a play about slavery; it is a play about freedom.
