Megan Robinson plays Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne Galloway, who clashes with Lt. Daniel Kaffee over the nature of their defense case.
Zack Jordan plays Lt. Daniel Kaffee, a U.S. Navy defense lawyer who gets a life-changing case.Back Alley Productions is set to perform the Aaron Sorkin classic “A Few Good Men” in nine performances at Mars Theatre, 117 N. Chattanooga St. in LaFayette, Ga., beginning Friday, April 7, through Saturday, April 22.
“A Few Good Men” revolves around the tense legal battle and court-martial of two U.S. Marines charged with the murder of a fellow Marine, and the tribulations of their lawyers as they prepare the case to defend their clients.
The Marines are accused of accidentally killing another Marine in a Code Red, a violent military hazing performed on low-performing personnel. Daniel Kaffee, a Navy lawyer charged with defending the officers, wants to softball the case and get a quick and painless plea bargain. Then he begins to suspect there’s more to the case than the obvious.
“The trial really pits two outlooks on America in the cross hairs of examination,” says director James Reed. “It’s a story that is timely and relevant to our current political climate, especially regarding the balance of safety vs. openness, without political grandstanding or being alienating.”
