Peter and Jerry extends by three weeks

Although previews do not begin until 19 Oct 2007, Edward Albee's Peter and Jerry has extended its run by three weeks through to 30 Dec 2007 at Second Stage Theatre.

Second Stage Theatre's 29th season begins with the New York Premiere of Edward Albee's Peter and Jerry, opening at the Second Stage Theatre on 11 Nov 2007, following previews from 19 Oct 2007.

In Peter and Jerry Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Albee delves deeper into his 1958 play The Zoo Story by adding a first-act, Homelife, leading to Peter's (Bill Pullman) fateful meeting with Jerry (Dallas Roberts) on a park bench in Central Park.

Directed by Pam MacKinnon, Peter and Jerry features: Bill Pullman, Dallas Roberts and Johanna Day.

The play had its world premiere in Jun 2004 at Hartford Stage. The production was directed by Pam MacKinnon and also featured Johanna Day.

The design team comprises Neil Patel (sets), Teresa Squire (costumes) and Kevin Adams (lighting).

The 2007-08 theatre season -- during which Edward Albee will turn 80 on 12 Mar 2008 - will feature four major productions of works by Mr. Albee, collectively entitled "The Albee Season." In addition to Edward Albee's Peter and Jerry, the season will see Me, Myself and I at the McCarter Theatre, The Sandbox and The American Dream at Cherry Lane Theatre, and Occupant at Signature Theatre Company.

This season-long array of Albee plays -- premieres, early works and a double-bill comprised of both a new work and his first play -- serves as a reminder why Mr. Albee is widely-regarded as America's greatest living playwright, most notably on the occasion of his milestone birthday.
