THE WHIPPING MAN by Matthew Lopez

The Whipping Man

Tickets are on sale now at www.jccgalleryplayers.org.

 THE WHIPPING MAN takes audiences back to the time of Passover, 1865. The Civil War has just ended and the annual celebration of freedom from bondage is being observed in Jewish homes across the country. One of these homes, belonging to the DeLeons of Virginia, sits in ruins. Confederate officer Caleb DeLeon has returned from the war to find his family missing and only two former slaves remaining. Caleb is badly wounded and the two men, Simon and John, are forced to care for him.  As the three men wait for the family's return, they wrestle with their shared past as master and slave, digging up long-buried family secrets along the way. Slavery and war, they discover, warp even good men's souls.
