Courage Charles Laborde

"Courage" is a vivid theatrical adaptation of Stephen Crane's masterpiece of the Civil War, "The Red Badge of Courage." The play captures all the horror, humor, and moral ambivalence that are the hallmark of Crane's original. Told largely through language captured from the original novel, "Courage" is the stage version of the novel that most closely follows the original and brings the life of the common soldier of the Civil War starkly and painfully alive.
