About the Play: A Few Good Men takes us into the heart of a military courtroom drama, where young Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee is assigned the case of defending two Marines accused of murder. As Kaffee digs deeper, he uncovers a web of military secrets and codes of conduct that threaten to tear apart not only the lives of the accused but the entire military hierarchy. A powerful exploration of duty, honor, and moral responsibility, A Few Good Men continues to resonate with audiences due to its exploration of the complexities of the military justice system, ethics, and the consequences of blind loyalty.

A History of Impact: Since its premiere in 1989, A Few Good Men has captivated audiences across the world. Originally written for the stage by Aaron Sorkin, it was adapted into a successful 1992 film starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore, further solidifying its place in American pop culture.
