Holy Ghost (Tuttle)
by Jon Tuttle

In 1944, German prisoners-of-war work in South Carolina cotton fields, overseen by black guards who enjoy few of the liberties the prisoners do.

One prisoner escapes – armed only with the lines he's learned playing the lead in a camp production of Abe Lincoln in Illinois , and chased by a black private for whom the pursuit is a quest for belonging.

Their dash across the American South explores the ironies and hypocrisies of the American mythos.

To be published in Two South Carolina Plays.
