Los Angeles, Apr 1 (PTI) Emmy-winning writer screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's 1989 Broadway play "A Few Good Men" will be adapted into a live show.
Sorkin will pen the teleplay adaptation of the same title, which will be aired on NBC next year, reported Aceshowbiz.
"A Few Good Men", which marked Sorkin's professional debut, premiered on Broadway in 1989.
It was turned in a feature film starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore.
Set in 1986 and taking place in Washington, DC, and the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, the story centers on military lawyer lieutenant Daniel Kaffee, who is asked to defend three Marines on trial for murder.
Sorkin will also executive produce the live show with Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.
He said in a statement, "I've been incredibly impressed watching NBC resurrect live musical theater for television and I'm eager to team up with Craig and Neil to help bring live drama back as well."
"A Few Good Men" will be NBC's first non-musical live presentation since the network began the programming in 2013.
It will follow up "Hairspray Live!" which is set for later this year.
