Sorkin’s courtroom drama premiered on Broadway in 1989, centering on a pair of U.S. Marines being tried for the murder of a fellow soldier at Guantanamo Bay, and an attempted high-level cover-up. The work made the jump to the big screen in 1992 with an all-star cast including Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollak, J.T. Walsh, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Kiefer Sutherland. Nicholson’s delivery of the climactic line “You can’t handle the truth” has become one of the most well-known and quoted movie lines in theatre and cinema history.<\/p>\n

The production features scenic design by Dane Laffrey, costume design by Alejo Vietti, sound design by Joshua D. Reid, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, hair and wig design by Cookie Jordan, movement direction by Ricky Ubeda, fight direction by Rick Sordelet and Christian Kelly-Sordelet, vocal coaching by Kate Wilson, and original music by Gabriel Mann. Charles Means serves as production stage manager, with production management by Paul Smithyman and Kevin Orzechowski, general management by Showtown Theatricals and James R. Geoghegan, and company management by Matthew Markoff.<\/p>\n

Lincoln Center Theater is producing in association with No Guarantees Productions, Tom Kirdahy, Kevin Ryan, Lamar Richardson, and Mary Sullivan.<\/p>\n
