Trust: Cast announced
Second Stage Theatre has announced that Zach Braff, Bobby Cannavale, Sutton Foster and Ari Graynor will co-star in the world premiere comedy Trust, written by Paul Weitz, directed by Peter DuBois.
Weitz returns to Second Stage Theatre, where his plays 'Privilege' and 'Show People' premiered in 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Harry is rich. Harry is married. But when Harry doesn't trust any of it is enough, he looks to find something real in the most unlikely of places. Paul Weitz's dark comedy Trust explores the corrosive effect of power on relationships and the hope we need to make them better.
