into a cold-blooded revenge drama."Actor-director Balaban received a Tony nomination for his performance in 1979's The Inspector General, and has also appeared on Broadway in Plaza Suite, Some of My Best Friends and and Speed-the-Plow and off-Broadway in Romance, The Exonerated, Three Sisters and many more; he also directed Addicted at the Zipper Theatre.
