First Broadway Run of A Soldier's Play Scheduled

The 2020 spring season on Broadway includes a production of A Soldier's Play at American Airlines Theatre. A Pulitzer Prize-winning work authored by Charles Fuller, A Soldier's Play draws inspiration from the novel Billy Budd by Herman Melville, and delves into the complicated issues surrounding segregation in the military in Louisiana in 1944.

The play follows Richard Davenport, a black captain investigating a murder of a black sergeant in an all-black company overseen by a white commanding officer, Captain Taylor. Against Taylor's advice, Davenport delves deep into the corruption of the military, discovering that both black and white soldiers have a motive for murder, leading him to a shocking surprise.

A Soldier's Play first premiered off-Broadway in 1981. Its inaugural Broadway run will officially open on January 21, 2020, and star David Alan Grier and Blair Underwood.
