NBC will air a live adaptation of Aaron Sorkin's critically-acclaimed play 'A Few Good Men'.

The Peacock Network is working on a new live theatre event with Peter Pan Live! producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, reported Variety.

Five-time Emmy Award winner Sorkin will reportedly re-work 'A Few Good Men' specifically for a television adaptation.

NBC had success last year with its primetime event The Sound of Music Live!, and will air follow-up Peter Pan Live! in December.

'A Few Good Men' debuted on Broadway in 1989, with original cast member Tom Hulce earning a Tony Award nomination for his portrayal of Lt Daniel Kaffee.
 

The legal drama - which centres on the murder trial of two marines - was later adapted by Sorkin into an Oscar-nominated feature film starring Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson.
