Signature Theatre & Westport Country Playhouse to Co-Produce New A.R. Gurney Play LOVE AND MONEY

Signature Theatre and Westport Country Playhouse have announced that the two organizations will co-produce the world premiere of A.R. Gurney's LOVE AND MONEY during the 2015-16 Season.

The production will be directed by Mark Lamos, and will be presented at Westport Country Playhouse from July 21 - August 8, 2015, before moving to Signature Theatre later in August 2015. Gurney is currently the Residency One playwright at Signature Theatre, where a new production of his play THE WAYSIDE MOTOR INN has been extended twice through October 5, 2014.

In LOVE AND MONEY, wealthy widow Cornelia Cunningham has led a life of grace and privilege-and she's making up for it as fast as she can. Determined to donate almost everything she owns before the end, Cornelia's plans are questioned when an ambitious and ingratiating young man, who may be the grandson she never knew she had, arrives to claim his inheritance. The trials of class, family, legacy, and race are pointedly explored in this world-premiere comedy by Residency One playwright A.R. Gurney.

Exact dates for the Signature run, as well as casting and design team, will be announced at a later date.
