The first day of rehearsal for November, David Mamet's new comedy, was held Monday November 26 at 42nd Street Studios.
The highly anticipated World Premiere comedy is scheduled to begin previews on Thursday, December 20 toward a January 17 opening at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. The production stars two-time Tony Award-winner Nathan Lane as incumbent US President Charles Smith; plus Laurie Metcalf as Clarice Bernstein, aide to President Smith; and Dylan Baker as Arthur Brown, presidential adviser. The cast also features Ethan Phillips and Michael Nichols. Two-time Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello (Take Me Out, Glengarry Glen Ross) directs.
"Set just days before a major presidential election, November involves civil marriages, gambling casinos, lesbians, American Indians, presidential libraries, questionable pardons and campaign contributions," explain press notes.
