Charles Fuller's 1981 Pulitzer-winning drama A Soldier's Play makes its debut on Broadway in a starry Roundabout Theatre Company production that has everyone buzzing. Set at a Louisana Army Base in 1944, the play surrounds the murder of the loathsome Sergeant Vernon C. Waters (three-time Tony Award nominee David Alan Grier) while spotlighting racism in America and in the armed forces at that time.
