A Lesson Before Dying by Romulus Linney 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 and 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.
The cast members are:
- Ulisses Gonsalves - Grant Wiggins
- Keyonn Everett - Jefferson
- Karen Christina Jones - Miss Emma Glenn
