| | | | | | DEFIANCE | | | By: John Patrick Shanley | | | Synopsis | | | Defiance is the "very rich and satisfying" (The Village Voice) second work in John Patrick Shanley’s trilogy that began with Doubt. The play is set in 1971 at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, where Lt. Col. Morgan Littlefield and his reluctant protégé Capt. Lee King — a young African American officer — clash over issues of race and authority within the Marine Corps, even as the civil rights movement and Vietnam War divide the world outside. In this high-stakes struggle at the top of the ranks, witnessed by the base’s inquisitive Chaplain White and Littlefield’s irreproachable wife, Margaret, Shanley has crafted another timely play exploring issues of power and morality within a hallowed institution. | | | Details | | Paperback | | Published: 2007 | | ISBN: 978-1-55936-309-9 | | 72 pages, 5.5 x 8.5 inches |
