The action of the play is comprised of a series of varied, imaginatively conceived episodes - five in all - which blend into a powerful and stirring mosaic. The cast , which can be modified, calls for thirteen men and two women. Just a flexible, unit set is required. The "Acting Edition," published in soft cover by Dramatists Play Service, has a list of characters preceding the text and a complete prop list following the play. The text includes explicit stage directions.
