WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Savages, by Anne Nelson, is a play about war and its consequences, for both victors and victims -- exploring the narrow distance between the two. It is set in the midst of the Philippine-American Conflict in 1902, a war that was a defining moment for the Philippines but has been almost forgotten in the United States. The play explores the situation through the eyes of four characters: the general currying favor with Washington; the Marine major on trial for war crimes; the green young recruit; and the Filipina who is their most human contact to an alien environment.

For her sophomore playwriting effort, Nelson takes a look further back in time: Savages examines the true-life case of Major Littleton Waller (James Matthew Ryan), a Marine who in 1902 was court-martialed and tried for war crimes during the Philippine-American war. Unfortunately, the new play is far less comp[...]
