WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Roundabout Theatre Company presents the New York premiere of Beyond Glory, written by and starring Stephen Lang, from the book by Larry Smith. Robert Falls directs.
In his theatrical adaptation of Larry Smith's book, Beyond Glory: Medal of Honor Heroes in Their Own Words, Lang presents the stories of eight veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, rendering first hand accounts of the actions which resulted in each of them receiving the nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor. Beyond Glory gathers these men together in the present to look back on the defining moments of their lives and to examine the meaning of courage, duty and, ultimately, humility.
