In this drama about black/white race relations, no easy answers about cause or blame are provided, when in 1944 in a segregated army camp in Louisiana, a black sergeant is shot dead after crying out “They still hate you.” As the play examines the murder, the truth of it becomes more shocking and hateful than the murder itself.
