This play uses the famous incident of Henry David Thoreau’s act of civil disobedience — refusing to pay taxes to support the war on Mexico — as a commentary on the Vietnam War. The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail provides insight into Thoreau’s philosophy, and is also an interesting historical work filled with poignant scenes that are perfect for sparking discussion in your classroom.
