The Court Martial of Billy Budd

By James M. Salem. Based on Herman Melville's short novel.

Product Code: C34000

One-act Play
Cast Size: 11m.

Approx. Run Time: 35 min.

Simple, kindhearted Billy Budd is an object of hatred for Claggart, the Petty Officer and Master-At-Arms. The Captain is convinced that Billy is innocent of plotting mutiny. Billy, stunned by the sudden charge of Claggart, strikes out with his fist, and Claggart falls and dies. The Captain is confronted with the evidence of which the penalty is death. This dramatic play about justice in wartime deals with the appalling problem of the untutored and unlettered man who responds with violence to an injustice.
