"I'm still looking for a good clean fight."

The second play in Shanley's trilogy that started with the runaway hit Doubt.

It's 1971 and North Carolina's Camp Lejeune military base is rife with racial unease. When Colonel Littlefield invites a black office, Captain Lee King, to his home to discuss the building tensions, unexpected and profound events turn the discourse from race to an even deeper exchange that touches the heart and soul of all involved.

"A stimulating, beautifully written drama."
