Overview
<p><b>Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 1982</b><br><br>A black sergeant cries out in the night, "They still hate you," then is shot twice and falls dead. <br><br>Set in 1944 at Fort Neal, a segregated army camp in Louisiana, Charles Fuller's forceful drama--which has been regularly seen in both its original stage and its later screen version starring Denzel Washington--tracks the investigation of this murder. But <i>A Soldier's Play</i> is more than a detective story: it is a tough, incisive exploration of racial tensions and ambiguities among blacks and between blacks and whites that gives no easy answers and assigns no simple blame.</p>
