Description
Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall is a worthy subject for the stage, but in George Stevens’s solo play about the liberal justice, most of the drama has been left on the bench. Laurence Fishburne turns in an eminently respectable and respectful performance as Marshall, investing the judge with admirable humanity and twinkles of lusty humor. But the play is mainly a journey from court to court; you leave the Booth Theatre feeling educated about an important career but only marginally enlightened about the man behind it. One wishes that Stevens had devoted less time to Marshall’s public trials and more to his private tribulations.—AF
