Tony Award-nominee Eve Best (A Moon for the Misbegotten) joins the cast of the 40th Anniversary
revival of Harold Pinter's Tony Award-winning masterpiece The Homecoming. The
production begins performances on Friday, November 23. It will open Sunday,
December 9 at the Cort Theatre (138
West 48th Street) for a 20-week limited engagement
through April 13.
Eve Best received Tony and Olivier nominations as well as
Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World Awards for her performance
in the Old Vic Theatre
production of A Moon for the Misbegotten.
Her London
stage credits include Hedda Gabler
(Olivier and Critics' Circle Awards); Mourning
Becomes Electra (Critics' Circle Award); Three Sisters; The Coast of
Utopia; The Misanthrope; Macbeth; The Heiress; The Cherry
Orchard; and 'Tis Pity She's a Whore
(Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Awards).
Best joins previously announced Golden Globe Award-winner Ian
McShane ("Deadwood"), two-time Tony-nominee Raul Esparza (Company, The Normal Heart)
and Oscar-nominee Michael McKean (The
Pajama Game, Hairspray). Tony
Award-winner Daniel Sullivan (Rabbit Hole,
Proof) directs.
"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," describe press notes.
The award-winning design team will include Eugene Lee,
Kenneth Posner, Jess Goldstein and John Gromada.
