Great "who done-it play" featuring a great cast of African-American characters
Charles Fuller is a living Philadelphia-n playwright who has given us this excellent play, great for 9th graders. If you are looking for racism, breaking the norm, defying expectations, and defining your own identify, this is the perfect text. My students love it! dk

Some writing in it, but all pages are in it and there's no nasty spills.

Very Powerful
A Soldier's Play is set in 1944, in an Army post mostly consisting of African-American soldiers. The death of a black NCO is investigated by an African-American officer under conditions of southern bigotry and institutional racism. But who did murder T/SGT Waters? And who was this spit-and-polish sergeant? What really happened that night in Louisiana? This book will draw you into the story.

Great Story and Juicy Parts for Actors
I love this play and am reading it again in search of a play to direct in a coming season. Fabulous piece for men. A very good whodunnit that also deals with the serious subject of prejudice and self-hatred. I first came to know this story through the movie, "A Soldier's Story." I just wish the play had the same great ending as the movie. In the movie, the murderer is confronted; in the play, he deals with it but offstage. Kind of a let-down. But still, great story worth reading.
