"This experimental, non-linear play dramatizes Henry David Thoreau’s night in jail for refusing to pay taxes (in protest of the Mexican-American War and slavery). Through flashbacks and philosophical dialogues, it explores Thoreau’s ideals of civil disobedience, individualism, and nature—while critiquing societal conformity."** **Key Themes:** - **Civil Disobedience** (inspired his later influence on Gandhi/MLK). - **Transcendentalism** vs. societal norms. - **Freedom vs. imprisonment** (literal and metaphorical). **Vibe:** *Part biography, part moral rallying cry—think "Walden" meets courtroom drama.*
