A Soldier's Play by Charles Fuller, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 1982A 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. | A Soldier's Play by Charles Fuller, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
