Jeremy Skidmore and the actors at Keegan Theatre are reason enough to head to Church Street to see Aaron Sorkin’s courtroom drama A Few Good Men. Skidmore’s direction and the strong performances by the acting company elevate a standard court room drama into a compelling must-see event.
The play that made Sorkin a beloved and then divisive brand still cuts a dashing figure in its dress whites, and Jeremy Skidmore’s new production for Keegan Theatre has a physical kineticism to match its author’s impressive (and self-impressed) verbal brio.
… there’s an impressive physical dynamism to the Keegan Theatre’s A Few Good Men. Sitting in the audience, you can almost feel the military establishment bustling around you.
…The Keegan Theatre’s fresh new Few Good Men is the most relevant and resonant theater event going on in DC.
Overall, this is one of Keegan’s strongest straight play productions in recent years. It’s highly recommended.
