This comedy places a young, lovable, naive hillbilly in the U.S. Air Force (although he wants to be in the Infantry), where generals and sergeants attempt to classify this highly "unclassifiable" mountain boy. Setting the earnestness of military discipline and bureaucracy on its head, the hero eventually gets what he wants as he turns the Air Force inside out.

Based on the playwright's life and considered one of Arthur Miller's most personal plays, After The Fall follows a man on his quest to make peace with his own history and with the tumultuous world around him. This experimental portrait of a man struggling with the choices he has made in his public and private life examines the personal, political and universal forces that collide when we "fall" from innocence. Following the death of his second wife, Quentin tries to move forward, but he must also relive childhood losses, failed marriages and the effects of the 1950s' Blacklist. This rarely produced classic is presented by the HumanArts Theater Company. Learn More

It was a little too long and a bit over the top, acting-wise. I prefer shows that are more realistic. I had seen this years ago and loved it, but this production didn't do much for me.

More Information About No Time For Sergeants

Description

No Time for Sergeants was originally a 1954 best-selling novel by Mac Hyman. The book chronicles the misadventures of a country bumpkin named Will Stockdale, who is drafted into the U.S. Army during World War II and assigned to the U.S. Army Air Forces.

Ira Levin adapted Hyman's novel into a play, which first appeared as an episode on The United States Steel Hour television series in March 1955, starring Andy Griffith as Will Stockdale and Myron McCormick as his nemesis Sergeant Orville King. The play then opened on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre on October 20, 1955. Griffith and McCormick again starred, and Don Knotts made his Broadway debut as Corporal Manual Dexterity. Andy Griffith was nominated for a Tony for Best Featured Actor. The play ran for 796 performances, closing on September 14, 1957.

No Time for Sergeants was also made as a 1958 motion picture, as well as a 1964 television series.
