Charles Fuller’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece finally arrives on Broadway in a “blistering and relevant” (The Hollywood Reporter) production from Tony Award® winner Kenny Leon.
“David Alan Grier is phenomenal” (NY1) as a Black sergeant whose mysterious murder on a Louisiana Army base triggers an investigation by a fearless Captain — Blair Underwood, “electrifying” (Daily News). As tensions mount, his search for the truth adds up to a “knock-your-socks-off drama” (Variety.) A SOLDIER’S PLAY is "highly entertaining, and as powerful as ever,” raves the Chicago Tribune. "You don’t want it to end.”
Running Time: 1 hour and 50 minutes, including a 15 minute intermission
