After Taps; A Drama In Three Acts

By Rachel Baker Gale and George M. Baker

Book Overview

A stirring window into a developing nation's soul, After Taps returns to the stage with the energy of a fresh discovery. A drama in three acts that keeps its heartbeat-yet now reimagined for today's readers and theatre-makers. This work blends compact, muscular staging with themes of military life and duty, family and honour, and the quiet sacrifices that shape a community. It functions as both a compelling drama play script and a practical stage play, offering rich material for performance and study alike. As a late nineteenth century america piece, it sits within regional american stage movements and speaks to the enduring questions of service, sacrifice, and belonging. Its timeless preoccupations render it an ideal drama classroom resource and a meaningful addition to any complete drama collection. Historically, the piece holds significance as a public domain theatre classic that helped chart the contours of American theatre work beyond metropolitan centres. For collectors and casual readers, After Taps represents more than a reprint-it is a restored cultural treasure, a window into public discourse of duty and family, and a testament to the era's craft. This Alpha Editions edition is designed to endure, preserving nuance while inviting fresh interpretation. A collectible play anthology item that invites renewed staging, scholarship, and appreciation for the enduring power of theatre.
