A Soldier's Play [C+]

This is a revival of the play that won the Pulitzer Prize in 1982. It's about the murder of a black officer in a black training camp in the South during World War II. The play is largely well done, but Tye Diggs (the star) largely seems to be just going through the motions. He's a skillful enough actor that he still carries of most of his scenes, but the play just lacks emotional impact, and I think much of that is his doing.
