This 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning thriller has rocketed back into the spotlight, thanks to this 2020 Tony Award®-winning Best Revival from Roundabout Theatre Company. “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” (The Wall Street Journal).

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. Broadway’s Norm Lewis leads a powerhouse cast in the show Variety calls “a knock-your-socks-off-drama," directed by Tony winner Kenny Leon.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR A Soldier's Play

Review: A SOLDIERS PLAY at ASU Gammage
8 / 10

There is beauty in the power of an actor that can take the helm of a show like a ship. However, watching a cast lead just as strongly individually into the journey on stage is much more powerful. This is especially true when a show brings out the depth of perspectives a community may still be plagued to face decades beyond the conception of the piece. The magic is found in the portrayal of truths whilst showing how multifaceted perspectives can make a reality. The National Tour of A Soldier's Play at ASU Gammage is that piece, being led by not only the sensational Norm Lewis but also a fantastic cast, telling a story that although set in a time and place nearly 80 years ago, is also one that still mirrors realities our communities face today.

Relevant, timely ‘A Soldier’s Play’ at Victoria Theatre
8 / 10

As the richly drawn characters converse and tussle, Fuller’s examination of toxic masculinity provides fascinating fodder for character development and interplay. Private C.J. Memphis, a laidback, soulful presence in the midst of more fiery personalities, is portrayed by Sheldon D. Brown, a Dayton native and 2010 Stivers School for the Arts graduate.
