Detachment member, Marine Tim McGee is directing the theatrical version of A Few Good Men. Let's spread the word and get a great turn out for this terrific piece of Marine Corps entertainment.
Here are the notes that Tim sent to me:
A Few Good Men opens June 9th at ST. Dunstan's Theatre Guild of Cranbrook (400 Lone Pine Road, Bloomfield Hills)(between Woodward and Lahser). We have performances June 9, 10, 11, 15, 16 and 17. You can order tickets at their website: http://stdunstanstheatre.com/ Hope to see a good showing from former Marines as this is a show about the Corps.
This Broadway hit about the trial of two Marines for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantánamo Bay sizzles on stage. The Navy lawyer, a callow young man more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor on trial.
"Triumphant...entertainment." N.Y. Post. "Plenty of wise cracking humor and suspense." Time Magazine. "Fresh and adroitly updated and conditioned to our time and socio political climate." N.Y. Post.
