A Separate Peace
By Faulkner Award winner John Knowles; Adapted by Nancy Gilsenan; Directed by Jeff Church.

Just before World War II, Gene attends summer session at a private school to get his diploma before being drafted. There he meets Finny, an exceptional athlete and a consummate charmer, whose remarkable love for life defies the reality of draft boards and battleships and challenges the adult world. Although the era and anxiety belong to 1942, the search for a "special and separate peace" is timeless.
