Edward Albee's Peter and Jerry, starring Johanna Day, Bill Pullman and Dallas Roberts officially opens at Second Stage Theatre (307 West 43rd Street) on Sunday, November 11 at 6:30PM; directed by Pam MacKinnon.
Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Albee delves deeper into his seminal 1958 play The Zoo Story by adding a brand-new first act, Homelife, which leads to act two's The Zoo Story and Peter's infamous and fateful meeting with Jerry on a park bench in Central Park.
The 2007-08 theatre season – during which Edward Albee will turn 80 on March 12, 2008 – will feature four major productions of works by Albee, collectively entitled "The Albee Season." In addition to Edward Albee's Peter and Jerry, the season will see Me, Myself and I at the McCarter Theatre, The Sandbox and The American Dream at Cherry Lane Theatre, and Occupant at Signature Theatre Company. This season-long array of Albee plays – premieres, early works and a double-bill comprised of both a new work and his first play – serves as a reminder why Albee is widely-regarded as America's greatest living playwright, most notably on the occasion of his milestone birthday.
