"We Meet at Appomattox" highlights the parallel careers of two of our nation's most heralded warriors -- Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant. They met on two momentous occasions: the first at Appomattox Courthouse, Va., which essentially ended the Civil War; and the second when then-President Grant invited an aging Lee to the White House for a closed-door conference that evidently set the tone for this country's future course. This two-man play captures the essence of those meetings through documented reports, letters, testimonies and (in the case of the White House meeting) speculation based on current events of that day and the two principals' vital interests. This two-man play is a versatile piece of theater appropriate for schools, historical societies, museums, libraries, Civil War reenactments and community theaters. It can be mounted in limited spaces with a minimum of equipment (a small table and two chairs). It can be presented as a full two-act play or as an expandable one-act lasting from a half-hour to 50 minutes. The play premiered in Honolulu in May, 2001, after which the Honolulu Star-Bulletin's reviewer called it "...a fascinating and entertaining portrait of two American heroes" and recommended the DOE (state Department of Education) "...fund "We Meet at Appomattox" for performances in high schools across Hawaii." A few weeks later, a version of the play was presented at the Civil War Days reenactment held annually at Naper Settlement, Naperville, Ill., and was rewarded with a standing ovation. In December, 2001, backed with funding from the Hawaii Department of Education, "We Meet at Appomattox" was meticulously taped at the studios of KHET, Honolulu's PBS affiliate, for future showings within the state's secondary school system.
