There are very few large cast shows at Fringe where every single actor is on point at all times. But this is one of them.

It's hard to overcome a strong memory like the one that Howard Rollins, Adolf Caesar, Denzel Washington, left in the film version of "A Soldier's Story" but this cast made me forget for a night.

Immediately we are thrown into murder investigation and the complications that arise from it's circumstance. The journey to discover the murderer is engaging and deals with racial themes and cultural divides.... full review

Best of Fringe... full review

A very strong and perfectly cast ensemble, with bare set and economical direction which allowed for the story and characters to truly shine. I'm very glad I had the opportunity to see A Soldier's Play. I wish the entire cast and production team much success. ... full review
