Roundabout announces full cast of Love, Love, Love

The Roundabout Theatre Company has announced complete casting for its upcoming production of Mike Bartlett's dark comedy Love, Love, Love, directed by Michael Mayer, which will play a limited engagement at the Laura Pels Theatre from 22 September 2016 through to 1 January 2017. Opening night is set for 19 October 2016.

The cast includes "The Hobbit" star and Olivier nominee Richard Armitage (Kenneth), Alex Hurt (Henry), Zoe Kazan (Rose), Ben Rosenfield (Jamie) and two-time Tony nominee Amy Ryan (Sandra).

Synopsis: "It's the late 1960s in a north London flat, and Henry is excitedly anticipating the arrival of his date, Sandra. The night changes course when Sandra and Henry's brother Kenneth quickly realize how much they have in common-their love of Rock and Roll and their love of marijuana, for starters. A fiery relationship is sparked in the haze of the 60s, and charred by today's brutal realities. Fast forward twenty-three years, and the economy and politics of an ever-changing world are wearing on the marriage of this baby boomer couple. Can they remain faithful to each other while trying to provide a loving and supportive home for their children-children who are growing up in a time when the next generation is not always provided for? Spanning more than four decades, this dark comedy is the story of what happens when the free-loving teens of the 60s face the harsh realities of today's world. From passion to paranoia, Love, Love, Love takes on the baby boomer generation as it retires, and finds it full of trouble."

The creative team behind Love, Love, Love has also been announced and features scenic design by Derek McLane, costume design by Susan Hilferty, lighting design by David Lander and sound design by Kai Harada.
