Set against the backdrop of the last day of the Civil War, a badly wounded Jewish confederate soldier returns to his Richmond estate and begs his now freed slaves to nurse him. In keeping with traditions of that time, the slaves are also Jewish, bringing into question conflicts of societal and religious acceptance. During the course of the play, secrets are revealed which will irrevocably alter all their lives. The final scene, set to the backdrop of the Passover Seder, will likely resonate with audiences long after the final bow.
