A Soldier's Play by Charles Fuller

In 1944, on a Louisiana Army base, two shots ring out. A Black sergeant is murdered, and a series of interrogations triggers a gripping barrage of questions about sacrifice, service, and identity in America. The Wall Street Journal hailed, “This is a play that deserves to be staged regularly all over America—though it’s hard to imagine that it will ever be done better than this. It keeps you guessing all the way to the final curtain.” Broadway’s Norm Lewis leads a powerhouse cast in the show Variety calls “a knock-your-socks-off-drama," directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon. “A Soldier’s Play,” the 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning thriller by Charles Fuller, has rocketed back into the spotlight thanks to this 2020 Tony Award-winning Best Revival from Roundabout Theatre Company.
