France, 1945.
Private Eddie Slovik is about to be shot for desertion. In the hours before his execution, a group of senior officers must decide whether to uphold the sentence or defy their chain of command. Trapped together, loyalties splinter, tempers flare, and each man is forced to confront what justice, duty, and mercy truly mean.
The Execution of Private Slovik is a tense and unflinching play about the human cost of obedience. Inspired by true events, it forces us to ask: when the line between right and wrong blurs, who carries the weight of justice, and who lives with the consequences?
