About the Show
This Broadway hit, A Few Good Men, delves into the trial of two Marines accused of complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay. The Navy lawyer, a young man more interested in softball games than the complexities of the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover-up. However, prodded by a determined female member of his team, he begins to uncover the truth behind the events that led to the tragic outcome.
The World with its bold challenges is brought to life through Aaron Sorkin's razor-sharp dialogue, creating a gripping courtroom drama that explores themes of honor, duty, and justice.
