It was revived in New York in 2007.[2] The Brig received three Obie Awards in 1964: for Best Production (play), Best Design (Julian Beck) and Best Direction (Judith Malina). The 2007 revival received an Obie Special Citation for its ensemble and director Judith Malina. In 2009 it received an unlicensed production at the New World School of the Arts, Theatre Division in Miami. Produced by Dean Patrice Bailey and directed by Matthew D. Glass.

The play depicts a typical day in a U.S. Marine Corps military prison called the brig. Brown spent thirty days in such a brig for being Absent Without Leave while serving with the Third Marines at Camp Fuji, Japan in the 1950s.[3].

gollark: Apparently American healthcare spending is something like 17% of GDP for some insane reason. So it would be a big fraction of the government budget, if they ran it as efficiently as it currently operated.
gollark: Possibly. Paying people if they want to move out seems more reasonable than doing stupid things to local property markets, or whatever, or adjusting taxes so those already there can afford it.
gollark: That doesn't mean the cost can't/shouldn't be *reduced*.
gollark: Instead of incentivizing people to stay there and driving up the price.
gollark: Yes.
