Liev Schreiber to Star in Revival of Pinter's The Homecoming Next Season

According to The New York Post, Liev Schreiber will return to Broadway as the star of an upcoming revival of Nobel Prize-winner Harold Pinter's The Homecoming.

The years 2006 and 2007 will be busy ones for Schreiber, who was also recently announced to star in a Shakespeare in the Park production of Macbeth this summer. The revival of The Homecoming, a tense psychosexual play, is headed for Broadway next season.

Schreiber, who most recently won a Tony award on Broadway portraying Richard Roma in the Glengarry Glen Ross revival, has previously been seen on Broadway in In the Summer House and Betrayal (also by Pinter). An acclaimed interpreted of Shakespeare, he has appeared off-Broadway in Henry V, Othello, Hamlet, Cymbeline, Macbeth, and The Tempest. Schreiber's screen credits include the remake of The Manchurian Candidate, The Sum of All Fears, Kate & Leopold, Scream 3, Hamlet, Sphere, A Walk on the Moon and Big Night. A film adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's best-selling novel Everything is Illuminated marked his directorial debut.

Jeffrey Richards and Jerry Frankel (Glengarry Glen Ross) will produce the revival.

First presented on Broadway in 1967 after a premiere at London's Aldwych Theatre (presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company), The Homecoming concerns Teddy and Ruth, a married couple who come home for a gathering with Teddy's family. Ruth quickly becomes a pawn of the men in the family--or so it seems. The play was also revived on Broadway in 1991.
