Written by Arnaud d’Usseau and James Gow

Directed by Arthur French 

Decorated African-American U.S. Army lieutenant Brett Charles comes home from the war and attempts to re-enter his small southern community in the Deep South at the end of World War II. Having been in command overseas – respected and treated as an equal – Brett resists being “put in his place” as a young African American in his segregated homeland. Although a daughter of a conservative U.S. Senator, Alice Langdon, believes in Brett and hopes and encourages him to go to college in the north, Brett wants to stay in his hometown, looking to make a difference. Brett and Genevra, Alice’s younger sister, fall in love as the play’s story unfolds, dividing the family with those who still support and go along with segregation and those looking to stand up to it.

The story follows aspiring writer, Peter Gorenstein, through his journey into small-town Alabama, where he meets the shadowy figures of the Sheriff and the Reverend, a beautiful African-American dancer named Estelle, and Q, the rumored “boy in the church.”
