Now on Sale:

The acting edition. Perfect for college and high school productions: large cast, excellent female roles, dramatic monologues perfect for auditions.

Based on a true story.

A Patch of Earth is part courtroom drama, part ghost story, part magical realism. It’s the true story of "the crybaby," a 25 year old Bosnian Croat who managed to fight for three different armies during the Bosnian war without killing anyone...until the July afternoon he was sent to a corn field outside Srebrenica. He’s ordered to shoot or be shot. If he refuses, his comrades will also shoot his young wife and child. He is haunted by the ghosts of people he killed. It destroys his marriage. He finally tells the outside world about the massacres at Srebrenica and confesses to shooting "no more than 70" of the 1200 people shot at that village in the hopes of quieting his demons.
