- The review sees its themes as relevant but overly familiar.
- Whitford, Blyth and Rodriguez lead the production.

## Summary

A Lincoln Center Theater revival of Aaron Sorkin’s *A Few Good Men*, directed by Michael Arden and starring Bradley Whitford, Tom Blyth and Krysta Rodriguez, revisits the military courtroom drama about a Marine’s death and the attempt to uncover who ordered the hazing that led to it. The review says the play’s themes of bullying, abuse of authority and scapegoating feel especially relevant today, but argues that their familiarity leaves the production with little power to surprise or provoke.

Blyth plays inexperienced defence lawyer Daniel Kaffee, assisted by Sam Weinberg and JoAnne Galloway, who suspects the two accused Marines are being blamed to protect Colonel Nathan Jessep, played by Whitford. The staging uses Lincoln Center’s large space for settings beyond the courtroom, including a bunk and an observation tower. The review finds the production handsome and the performances controlled, but says even the famous “You can’t handle the truth!” moment feels rushed and the drama lacks sting.
