Casting Notice: A Few Good Men

The Royal Underground Theatre Company

The Royal Underground Theatre Company is casting A Few Good Men. In a newly updated version of Aaron Sorkin’s hit Broadway play turned Academy Award nominated movie, A Few Good Men examines the role of honor and militaristic conduct through the lens of a monumental murder trial. Soldier is pitted against soldier, the chain of military command is tested, and the fate of two low ranking Marines rests in the hands of three scrappy Navy JAG lawyers dedicated to executing justice.

This production, directed by Enrico Banson, is set in the summer and fall of 1992, moving from Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba to the Washington Navy Yard in D.C.
