Gareth Saxe who made his Broadway debut in the recent
revival of Heartbreak House joins the
cast of the 40th Anniversary revival of Harold Pinter's Award-winning
masterwork The Homecoming. The cast
also includes Golden Globe Award-winner Ian McShane ("Deadwood"), two-time Tony-nominee Raul Esparza (Company), Tony-nominee Eve Best (A Moon for the Misbegotten) and
Oscar-nominee Michael McKean (The Pajama
Game).
Saxe will portray Joey, a boxer in training and the youngest
son of Max (Ian McShane). His previous stage credits include Richard III and The Winter's Tale (Public Theatre); The Wax (Playwrights Horizons); iWitness
(Mark Taper Forum); Sexual Perversity in Chicago (American Conservatory Theatre); Pericles (Old Globe); and The
Rivals (Huntington).
Tony Award-winner Daniel Sullivan (Rabbit Hole, Proof)
directs the production which begins performances on Friday, November 23;
opening Sunday, December 9 at the Cort Theatre (138 West 48th Street) for a 20-week limited
engagement thru April 13.
"Undoubtedly Pinter's most sexually provocative work, The Homecoming is an edgy and compelling
tale of lust, betrayal and seduction, telling the story of a dysfunctional
family that welcomes the homecoming of its estranged brother and competes for
the attention of his dangerously alluring wife," explain press notes.
The award-winning design team will include Eugene Lee,
Kenneth Posner, Jess Goldstein and John Gromada.
