The Open House: complete cast announced

Signature Theatre have announced the cast for their world premiere of Will Eno's The Open House, opening at the Signature Center's Linney Courtyard on 03 Mar 2014, following previews from 11 Feb 2014, and running through to 23 Mar 2014.

Directed by Oliver Butler, the cast for The Open House will feature Hannah Bos (Blood Play, Buddy Cop 2), Michael Countryman (Wit, Dancing at Lughnasa), Peter Friedman (The Great God Pan, Twelve Angry Men), Danny McCarthy (Grace, "Killing Kennedy") and Carolyn McCormick ("Law & Order").

The show's 'synopsis' reads, "People have been born into families since people started getting born at all. Playwrights have been trying to write Family Plays for a long time, too. And typically these plays try to answer endlessly complicated questions of blood and duty and inheritance and responsibility. They try to answer the question, "Can things really change?" People have been trying nobly for years and years to have plays solve in two hours what hasn't been solved in many lifetimes. This has to stop."

The creative team features set design by Antje Ellermann, costumes by Bobby Frederick Tilley II, lighting by David Lander and sound by M.L. Dogg.
