The Gallery Players Presents A FEW GOOD MEN
By: A.A. Cristi Nov. 17, 2016
Gallery Players announces the third show of its 50th season: the critically acclaimed and timely, A Few Good Men. The play is a riveting courtroom drama that investigates both the essence of our military and the Marine code of honor. A Few Good Men is as impactful today as the day it was written.
A Few Good Men pits inexperienced Navy lawyer, Lt. Daniel Kaffee, against top brass as he attempts to defend two Marines on trial for murdering one of their own. While admittedly not a poster-boy for good behavior, Kaffee rises to the occasion to defend his clients. As the court case proceeds and the specter of conspiracy arises, the tenacious Kaffee finds himself asking complex questions of honor, duty and humanity that demand an answer.
A Few Good Men opens Saturday, December 3rd, and runs for 12 performances through Sunday, December 18th, 2016. Performances will be held Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm and Sunday afternoons at 3:00 pm. The second and third, Saturdays will also have matinees at 2:00 pm.
