""Serjeant Musgrave's Dance: An Unhistorical Parable"" is a play written by John Arden. The story takes place in a small mining town in England, where a group of soldiers arrive looking for three deserters. The soldiers are led by Serjeant Musgrave, a man who is determined to find the deserters and bring them back to face justice. However, as the play progresses, it becomes clear that Musgrave's intentions are not as straightforward as they seem.
