The West Coast premiere of Warren Leight's 'Home Front' stars C. J. Lindsey as a World War II Black naval officer whose union with a white woman tests the tolerance of postwar America.
There’s a thin line between comedy and tragedy, as Othello and Romeo and Juliet could attest . If only this had happened instead of that. If only the timing had been different or a certain heedless action avoided, the longed-for happy ending might not have been preempted by calamity.
Full of optimism when they meet during V-J Day festivities in New York, Lt. James Aurelius Walker , one of the few Black naval officers during WWII, and Annie Overton , a widow eagerly looking for a new start for herself and her country, fall in love not just with each other but also with the prospect of a more evolved America.
Understandably proud of his service with the Golden Thirteen, a small group of Black enlisted men who were made officers after excelling in the officer training program that had been opened up to them at the urging of Eleanor Roosevelt, James is not prepared to swallow his dignity to placate white bigots in or out of the military.
