Summary: "After Taps" by Rachel Baker Gale and George M. Baker is a drama in three acts written in the late 19th century. The play revolves around Colonel Gordon Graham and his family during the backdrop of the American Civil War, exploring themes of loyalty, treachery, and the effects of war on personal relationships. Central to the plot are the complex dynamics between Colonel Graham, his wife Ruth, and their allies, including the enigmatic figure of Randolph Newcomb, who poses threats to the family’s honor. At the start of the play, the scene is set in Colonel Graham's home in Baltimore as Polly Primrose, a lively character, playfully dances and muses about the soldiers leaving for battle. She is soon joined by Bijah Bright, who expresses his affections for her amidst light-hearted banter. We learn of Colonel Graham's recent injury and the mysterious circumstances surrounding it, leading to suspicions about those close to him, including Newcomb, who secretly plots against Graham. The opening dialogues introduce multiple key characters, setting the stage for the unfolding drama intertwined with themes of love, duty, and the ramifications of conflict on both personal and national levels.
