Play Summary

Set in 1948 rural Louisiana A Lesson Before Dying tells the story of two young men, both trying to break free of the chains that society has placed on them. This uniquely theatrical interpretation by Romulus Linney focuses on the struggles of the poor and oppressed to try and gain pride and dignity within a hostile and racist environment. "A Lesson Before Dying" has something to teach anyone from every walk of life. "A lesson in the transformative power of theatre." —Time Out New York
