An awardwinning play from one of Americas most brilliant writers about a murder in a small Southern town, loosely based on the 1955 killing of Emmett Till. 'A play with fires of fury in its belly, tears of anguish in its eyes, a roar of protest in its throat.' The New York TimesJames Baldwin turns a murder and its aftermath into an inquest in which even the most wellintentioned whites are implicatedand in which even a killer receives his share of compassion.In a small Southern town, a white man murders a black man, then throws his body in the weeds. With this act of violence, James Baldwin launches an unsparing and at times agonizing probe of the wounds of race.For where once a white storekeeper could have shot a 'boy' like Richard Henry with impunity, times have changed. And centuries of brutality and fear, patronage and contempt, are about to erupt in a moment of truth as devastating as a shotgun blast.
