Shenandoah : A Military Comedy Representative Plays by American Dramatists: 1856-1911 Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenandoah_(play) Produced by David Starner, Leah Moser and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Shenandoah: A Military Comedy" by Bronson Howard is a play that reflects the tumultuous context of the American Civil War, written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of this pivotal conflict, the narrative explores themes of loyalty, love, and conflict between characters tied to different sides of the war—primarily focusing on Colonel John Haverill, Lieutenant Kerchival West, and Southern loyalist Robert Ellingham as they navigate personal and national loyalties amidst the chaos of war. The opening of "Shenandoah" introduces the audience to characters entrenched in the interplay of personal relationships and the looming threat of the Civil War. Set in Charleston in 1861, the tension is palpable as Haverill, West, and Ellingham grapple with their duties and beliefs. Ellingham expresses a devotion to his Southern roots while Haverill and West are caught in the pull of Northern allegiance. Their camaraderie faces a potential rupture as war looms, and romantic interests complicate matters further. The interactions hint at deeper conflicts, both emotional and ideological, setting the stage for the challenges they will face as the war unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
