*A Lesson Before Dying *is based on Ernest J. Gaines' celebrated novel
about life and justice in pre-civil rights Louisiana. Set in the Louisiana
backwoods in 1948*, *the play depicts the story of two young black men.
Jefferson, innocent prisoner awaiting execution, insists that he will be
dragged to the electric chair like a hog. Grant, a schoolteacher, owing to
a debt of honor, visits the young man in jail and helps him to face his
death with dignity. Together, each man learns the power of love, compassion
and individual heroism as Jefferson accepts freedom as a state of mind.
