STAGES - ELLIOTT BAY DRAMA BOOK GROUP
Tuesday, July 22 at 6:30 p.m.

Elliott Bay's Drama Book Group, Stages, meets once a month to read, enjoy and discuss great plays and dramatic works, contemporary and classic, from the U.S. and around the world. Our selection this month is Defiance by John Patrick Shanley. The second in a planned trilogy of plays which he started with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Doubt...Defiance is set in 1971 at a military base where a lieutenant colonel and his reluctant protegé, a young African-American captain, clash over issues of race and authority within the Marine Corps, as the civil rights movement and Vietnam divide the world outside. "Defiance is a tightly woven parable. It is a very rich and satisfying piece." - Village Voice. Please join us for this thoughtful discussion of Shanley's new play which will premiere in Seattle later this September at the Ethnic Cultural Theatre.
