The Roundabout Theatre Company will present A Soldier’s Play<\/strong>, directed by Kenny Leon<\/strong> starring David Alan Grier<\/strong> (Porgy and Bess) as “Sergeant Vernon C. Waters” and Blair Underwood<\/strong> (A Streetcar Named Desire) as “Captain Richard Davenport.”<\/p>\n

A Soldier’s Play will begin preview performances on December 27, 2019, and open officially on January 21, 2020. This is a limited engagement at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway (227 West 42nd Street).<\/p>\n

1944. A black Sergeant is murdered on a Louisiana Army base, and one tenacious investigator must race against his white leadership to unravel the crime before they unravel him. A hair-raising drama that reverberates with the “authentic and exciting pulse” (Ben Brantley, The New York Times) of mystery, Charles Fuller’s Pulitzer Prize- winning masterpiece rockets onto Broadway for the first time, directed by Tony Award\u00ae winner Kenny Leon (A Raisin in the Sun).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Soldier’s Play premiered Off-Broadway in 1981 at the Negro Ensemble Company starring Adolph Caesar, Denzel Washington, Larry B. Riley, Samuel L. Jackson, Peter Friedman<\/strong> and Charles Brown.<\/strong> The production won the NY Drama Critics’ Circle & Obie Awards for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize. The 1984 film version A Soldier’s Story – adapted by Fuller for the screen – earned Academy Award & Golden Globe nominations for Best Film & Best Screenplay. David Alan Grier has a long history with A Soldier’s Play, having joined the NEG production in the early 80’s and then playing “Corporal Cobb” in the film adaptation.<\/p>\n
