'Best Revival of a Play'

Joe Turner's Come and Gone
Belasco Theatre. First Preview: 03/19/2009, Opened: 04/16/2009, Closes: 06/14/2009.
Written by August Wilson.

Joe Turner's Come and Gone is set in a Pittsburgh boarding house in 1911. Owners Seth and Bertha Holly play host to a makeshift family of people who come to stay. Among those on the move is Herald Loomis, who arrives at the boarding house with his daughter in tow, and discovers amid the vibrant community there, a path from his lost spirit to a new life.

Joe Turner's Come and Gone is produced by Lincoln Center Theater, André Bishop, and Bernard Gersten.

Mary Stuart
Broadhurst Theatre. First Preview: 03/30/2009, Opened: 04/19/2009, Closes: 08/16/2009.
Written by Friedrich Schiller, New adaptation by Peter Oswald.

For a Queen to stand, a Queen must fall. Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart is a thrilling account of the extraordinary relationship between England's Elizabeth I and her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, Elizabeth's rival to the throne. With its behind the scenes intrigue, scheming and betrayal, the play also has the feel of a modern-day political thriller. Mary Stuart builds to one of the most electrifying dramatic confrontations in world theatre, in which Schiller imagines a meeting between the two monarchs on the grounds at Fotheringay Castle. This production previously played at The Donmar Warehouse and London's Apollo Theatre.

Mary Stuart is produced by Arielle Tepper Madover, Debra Black, Neal Street Productions/Matthew Byam Shaw, Scott Delman, Barbara Whitman, Jean Doumanian/Ruth Hendel, David Binder/CarlWend Productions/Spring Sirkin, Daryl Roth/James L. Nederlander/Chase Mishkin, and The Donmar Warehouse.

The Norman Conquests
Circle in the Square Theatre. First Preview: 04/07/2009, Opened: 04/23/2009, Closes: 07/25/2009.
Written by Alan Ayckbourn.

A trio of comedies set over one weekend at a home in the English countryside. Each play takes place in a different locations around the house: the dining room in Table Manners, the living room in Living Together, and the garden in Round and Round the Garden. The ingenious result is that as plots unfold, something seemingly incidental in one play takes on a hysterical new context in the next.

The Norman Conquests is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Steven Baruch, Marc Routh, Richard Frankel, Tom Viertel, Dede Harris, Tulchin/Bartner/Lauren Doll, Jamie deRoy, Eric Falkenstein, Harriet Newman Leve, Probo Productions, Douglas G. Smith, Michael Filerman/Jennifer Manocherian, Richard Winkler, Dan Frishwasser, Pam Laudenslager/Remmel T. Dickinson, Jane Dubin/True Love Productions, Barbara Manocherian/Jennifer Isaacson, and The Old Vic Theatre Company.

Waiting For Godot
Studio 54. First Preview: 04/03/2009, Opened: 04/30/2009, Closes: 07/12/2009.
Written by Samuel Beckett.

Waiting for Godot remains Samuel Beckett's most magical and beautiful allegory. The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone - or something - named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree on a barren stretch of road, inhabiting a drama spun from their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes and nonsense, which has been interpreted as a somber summation of mankind's inexhaustible search for meaning.

Waiting for Godot is produced by Roundabout Theatre Company, Todd Haimes, Harold Wolpert, Julia C. Levy, and Elizabeth Ireland McCann.
