Photo Preview: Off-Broadway's 'Fair Game'

Genesius Theatre Group (GTG) presents the New York premiere of Fair Game - a new play by Karl Gajdusek, which "gives a behind-the-scenes look at a woman's presidential campaign…and the scandals that threaten to topple it." Previews begin August 17th prior to an official press opening of August 20th at Theatre Row's Lion Theatre (410 West 42nd Street) in Manhattan.

Fair Game is Karl Gajdusek's drama "about politics, scandal and spin. In this ripped-from-the-headlines play Governor Karen Werthman is running for the highest office in the land, when her son - a professor at Princeton - returns home, embroiled in a scandal. In the hands of her spin-master campaign manager the scandal is squelched…but at what cost to the candidate.  Fair Game sheds light on the best and worst of a world where every act of right or wrong can be turned into its opposite," state press materials.

The cast includes Joy Franz (Into the Woods, Pippin), as presidential candidate Governor Karen Werthman, Caralyn Kozlowski, Chris Henry Coffey, Sarah-Doe Osborne, and Ray McDavitt.  Andrew Volkoff directs.
