MTC's The Country House announces full casting
Manhattan Theatre Club have announced full casting for their co-production of Donald Margulies' The Country House, directed by Daniel Sullivan, which will open at Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on 2 Oct 2014, following previews from 9 Sep 2014.
Joining previously announced Blythe Danner as Anna Patterson, will be Kate Jennings Grant (Nell McNally), Eric Lange (Elliott Cooper), David Rasche (Walter Keegan), Sarah Steele (Susie Keegan) and Daniel Sunjata (Michael Astor).
The Country House arrives on Broadway following a world premiere co-production by Geffen Playhouse and Manhattan Theatre Club at Geffen Playhouse on 3 Jun 2014.
Synopsis: 'Anna Patterson is the matriarch of a brood of famous and longing-to-be-famous creative artists, who have gathered at their Berkshires summerhouse during the Williamstown Theatre Festival. But when the weekend takes an unexpected turn, everyone is forced to improvise... inciting a series of simmering jealousies, a flurry of romantic outbursts and a bout of passionate soul-searching.'
