The Homecoming: tickets are now on sale to the general public

Tickets are now on sale to the general public for the 40th anniversary revival of Harold Pinter's The Homecoming, opening at the Cort Theatre on 13 Dec 2007, following previews from 23 Nov 2007, and running through to 13 Apr 2008.

Directed by Daniel Sullivan, The Homecoming features Ian McShane, Ra�l Esparza, Michael McKean and Eve Best, Gareth Saxe and James Frain.

The Homecoming concerns the ultimate dysfunctional family, presided over by its patriarch Max (McShane). Living under his dilapidated roof are his younger brother Sam (McKean), and two of his sons: Lenny (Esparza), the town pimp, and Joey (Saxe), a boxer-in-training.

Tensions begin to flair with the arrival of Max's eldest son Teddy, who returns home after six years with his new wife Ruth (Eve Best). Seduction, betrayal, and divisiveness ensue, as the family welcomes the homecoming of its estranged brother and vies for the attention of his dangerously alluring wife."

This will be the second revival of The Homecoming on Broadway. The play had its Broadway premiere at the Music Box Theatre in 1967, and its first revival in 1991 at The Criterion Center Stage Right (Theatre now closed).

Pinter, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005, is the author of The Birthday Party, Betrayal, Old Times, No Man's Land, The Caretaker, The Dumb Waiter, Ashes to Ashes, and Celebration.

The design team features Eugene Lee (Sets), Kenneth Posner (lighting), and Jess Goldstein (costumes). The play is being produced on Broadway by Jeffrey Richards and Jerry Frankel.
