All the World's a Stage!

Private Eddie Slovik's life hangs in the balance. In the hours before  his execution, a group of senior officers must weigh their orders  against their own humanity. Trapped together, loyalties splinter,  tempers flare, and every man is forced to confront what justice, duty,  and mercy truly mean. 

The Execution of Private Slovik is a tense  and unflinching play about the human cost of obedience. Inspired by  true events, it forces us to ask: when the line between right and wrong  blurs, who carries the weight of justice, and who lives with the  consequences?
