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.

Theatre Review: ‘A Soldier’s Play’ Marches to a Strong Beat at the Kennedy Center

8 / 10

Davenport's stalwart and straightforward pursuit of answers ends in a satisfying, though profoundly bittersweet, conclusion—the mystery may resolve, but the war does not. In uncovering the generational trauma of racism that is at the story’s core, the show seems to suggest that the Captain’s ability to find some truth delivers, if not justice, then at least one step forward.

Message of 'A Soldier's Play' still resonates

9 / 10

In addition to showcasing Lewis’ impressive abilities, the play also included a number of other outstanding performances. Sheldon Brown is one of those standouts. He portrays one of the central characters of the play, Pvt. C.J. Memphis, a harmless yet soft spoken, athletically gifted athlete. He’s at odds with Sgt. Vernon C. Waters due to his laid-back nature. Waters deems him unintelligent.
