Tony and Emmy Award-winner Tyne Daly (Gypsy, "Cagney & Lacey," "Judging Amy") will star in the Broadway premiere of Terrence McNally's new play Mothers and Sons, directed by Tony Award-nominee Sheryl Kaller (Next Fall), expected to arrive on the Great White Way in the spring of 2014 at a theatre to be announced.

Further casting, theatre and dates to be announced.

Mothers and Sons: Twenty years after her son's death, Katharine turns up at the door of his former lover, who is now married to another man and has a young son. This man and his family challenge the woman to confront the truths of their shared past, and a future she never imagined. Values clash as they struggle to reconcile their vastly different worlds.
