Overview
In a deserted French chateau during World War II, a young deserter awaits execution. Taunted by his guard, he speaks of his misguided youth and his love for his wife. He tries to explain to the priest who has come to give him the last rites that killing is wrong, but the priest insists that God expects every man to do his duty. The Derserter was published as part of the Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 3rd Series.
