Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) has just announced that Charlotte Parry will join previously announced Tony nominee Michael Cumpsty, Academy & Tony Award nominee Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Alessandro Nivola and Tony Award winner Roger Rees as "Arthur Winslow" in THE WINSLOW BOY on Broadway.
The Winslow Boy, by Terence Rattigan and directed by Lindsay Posner, will begin preview performances on Friday, September 20 and open officially on Thursday, October 17, 2013 at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway (227 West 42nd Street). This is a limited engagement through December 1, 2013.
A moving exploration of family devotion, The Winslow Boy beautifully illustrates the costs of unconditional love and the rewards that make the effort priceless. When Ronnie Winslow is expelled from school for stealing, it has a resounding effect on the entire family. His father Arthur must pool his resources to hire a lawyer for the boy's defense. His brother Dickie begrudgingly drops out of college and gets a banking job to help with the legal costs. And the fallout from this unexpected predicament puts his sister Catherine's engagement in jeopardy. Though they are determined to defend Ronnie, will the family's sacrifices be enough to clear his reputation and the Winslow name? This captivating new production of Terence Rattigan's classic play comes directly from The Old Vic Theatre in London. 2
The cast will also include Zachary Booth as "Dickie Winslow", Spencer Davis Milford as "Ronnie Winslow", Chandler Williams as "John Watherstone", Meredith Forlenza as "Miss Barnes", Stephen Pilkington as "Fred", Henny Russell as "Violet".
The creative team includes Peter McKintosh (Sets & Costumes), David Lander (Lights) and Drew Levy (Sound).
The Winslow Boy premiered in London in 1946 and on Broadway in 1947. Michael Cumpsty, Alessandro Nivola and Roger Rees are longtime Roundabout artists having been in productions of Sunday in the Park with George, The Constant Wife & 1776 (Cumpsty); A Month in the Country (Nivola); The Rehearsal & Arms and the Man (Rees). Terence Rattigan's work was last seen on the Roundabout stage, and the American Airlines Theatre, in 2011 when Frank Langella starred in Man and Boy.
