About the Show: Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for drama
in 1992
In an effort to get medical help for the sharecroppers in rural
Alabama, Nurse Evers convinces the local men to join a government study to treat
venereal disease. Four of the men, who have formed an amateur song-and-dance
group, compete in "gillie" competitions. They are the focus of Nurse Evers care.
When money for treatment runs out, Nurse Evers is faced with a difficult
decision: to tell the men they are no longer being treated and are now part of a
research study, or follow the lead of the doctors she respects and the tenets of
the nursing profession.
