Houston Family Arts Center presents A Lesson Before Dying

Houston Family Arts Center presents A Lesson Before Dying

Pin It

Can there be dignity in an unjust death? Is there really any way for us to escape our past? When does the teacher become the student? These and other questions are thoughtfully explored in this production. Written by playwright Romulus Linney and based on by Ernest J. Gaines' 1993 Pulitzer Prize nominated novel, A Lesson Before Dying presents a teacher who is openly contemptuous of his own students and an inmate who unwittingly has the power to transform not only his own life, but quite possibly save the soul of an entire town.
