The Vietnam War

It follows Thoreau, who was against the Mexican-American war, and was thrown in jail for tax evasion (which he did because he knew the money would support the war)

The play was very popular because viewers at the time saw Thoreau's struggles against the Mexican-American war as an allegorical parallel to their opposition to the Vietnam War

Thoreau's night in jail reinforced his belief that many of his fellow citizens were blindly complying with unjust laws. He saw apathy and conformity among them, which fueled his conviction to resist and speak out against oppressive systems. Thoreau's experience in jail solidified his sense of moral duty to advocate for individual conscience and civil disobedience.
