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. Directed by Peter DuBois, who staged Second Stage's production of 'Becky Shaw,' Trust will open at the Second Stage Theatre on 12 Aug 2010, following previews from 23 Jul and run through to 5 Sep 2010.

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.

The creative team features scenic design by Alexander Dodge, costume design by Emilio Sosa, lighting design by David Weiner and sound design by M.L. Dogg.
