Jefferson, a young African-American man, is condemned to death in a small-town Louisiana for a murder he didn’t commit. His godmother persuades a teacher to visit Jefferson and teach him to die with dignity as a man. Many lessons are learned in this powerful drama on the value of human life. This play was adapted by Romulus Linney from Ernest J. Gaines’ celebrated novel.
Presented by Prime Stage Theatre, A Lesson Before Dying will be performed at the New Hazlett Theater from Friday, March 4 to Sunday, March 13. For more information, or to purchase your ticket, visit A Lesson Before Dying event page.
