Interview with a Confederate General
Acts: 1; Pages: 15; Actors: 3 male; 1 female
Standard American Play Format; Font: Courier New, Size 12
The play is an interview in 1911 between William L. Cabell (my great grandfather), his daughter (Katie) and two reporters from Boston who are writing a story about the abolitionist movement in Boston during and after the Civil War. John Harrison is white; his young assistant, Leroy Adams is black. The interview and the characters of Adams and Harrison are entirely fictional; the incidents and other characters referenced are not. The premise of the play is that it is possible for people on opposite sides of very contentious and bloody issues to keep their cool and begin to reach out to each other by engaging in civil discourse.
