April, 1865: The Civil War has ended. Caleb DeLeon, a Jewish Confederate soldier, returns wounded from the battlefield to find his family home in ruins, abandoned by everyone except Simon & John — two former slaves, who were raised as Jews in the DeLeon home. As the three men reunite to celebrate Passover, and recall the exodus from Egypt in light of their own new liberties, they uncover a tangle of secrets…ties that bing them together and that, ultimately, might cost each man his freedom.
Tony Award winner Doug Hughes (The Royal Family, Doubt) returns to MTC to direct the New York debut of this acclaimed play by Matthew Lopez (Tio Pepe), featuring two time Emmy Award winner Andre Braugher and rising young talents Andre Holland and Jay Wilkinson.
