Laurence Fishburne will return to Broadway next spring in “Thurgood,” a one-man show about the late Thurgood Marshall, the first black member of the U.S. Supreme Court.

The play by George Stevens Jr. will open April 20 at the Booth Theatre, with Leonard Foglia directing. Stevens wrote and directed “Separate But Equal,” a 1991 TV movie that starred Sidney Poitier as Marshall.
