Theatrical Outfit brings Romulus Linney's powerful adaptation of Ernest J. Gaines' novel to the stage. When a young black man in 1940s rural Louisiana is falsely convicted of murder and sentenced to the electric chair, both he and his community must wrestle with the crimes of the times and embrace the power of personal dignity and intergrity.
