A full cast and creative team are set for the New Group's upcoming production of Bernard Weinraub's political drama The Accomplices, which will begin previews March 20th, open on April 9th and run through May 5th.

Directed by Ian Morgan, the show will feature Catherine Curtin (Love, Janis), Jon DeVries (Richard II, Hamlet), Robert Hogan (Boy, What Didn't Happen), Zoe Lister-Jones (Off-Broadway's The Little Dog Laughed), David Margulies (All That I Will Ever Be, The Treatment), Andrew Polk (Almost, Maine, Flight), Daniel Sauli, Mark Zeisler (Measure for Measure), and Mark Zimmerman (Moonlight and Magnolias).

"In 1940, Hillel Kook, a.k.a. Peter Bergson, arrives in the US fresh from the underground resistance in Palestine. He seeks aid for the rescue of European Jews from the Nazis. Hillel is shocked to find himself blocked by both the Roosevelt administration and the Jewish establishment. Veteran NY Times reporter Bernard Weinraub writes a blistering account of the fight to save millions, and the code of silence and inaction that continues to haunt us to this day," state press materials.

The Accomplices will features sets by Beowulf Boritt, costumes by Theresa Squire, lighting by Jeff Croiter and sound by Matt Sherwin.

The New Group is currently presenting an extended run of Wallace Shawn's The Fever.
