This witty and incisive play explores the nature of truth and justice in a small-town American courtroom. When a young high school student refuses to honor the flag salute, he is brought to trial, and the town is forced to confront its own conflicted beliefs about free speech, patriotism, and the duty of citizens to dissent. A thought-provoking and entertaining play that speaks to the tensions of our own time.
