Set in 1986, this gripping stage drama shifts between Guantanamo Bay and a Washington, DC courtroom, exploring a crime that tests honor, duty, and truth. When PFC William Santiago, seen as a “weak link,” dies due to actions by fellow Marines, Dawson and Downey insist it was a hazing incident ordered by a superior—who denies any such command.Defending them are three Navy attorneys with differing views on duty: Daniel Kaffee, living in his father’s legal shadow; Sam Weinberg, skeptical of the accused; and Joanne Galloway, a determined but inexperienced lieutenant commander. The play explores themes of honor, duty, and truth, and raises questions about blind loyalty.
The Knox Memorial 100th Anniversary Season is sponsored by Ariel Corporation and Park National Bank.
