Defiance
September 8, 2008
, 2008
Set on a United Sates Marine Corps base in North Carolina in 1971 three officers (the commander, his black executive officer and the new base chaplain) are on a collision course over race, women, and authority – both military and moral authority. In this play, Pulitzer winning Shanley fills the drama with provocative tensions between the military mindset, the pro and anti war turmoil of the times, the complexities of race, and tests of loyalties and loves.
Previews from September 4-7. Purchase tickets online or by calling 214-871-3300.
