TCG Books Publishes Donald Margulies THE COUNTRY HOUSE

Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the publication of Donald Margulies' The Country House. The play originally premiered at Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles with a subsequent Broadway premiere at Manhattan Theatre Club in New York in the fall of 2014.

Anna Patterson, the matriarch of a brood of famous and longing-to-be-famous creative artists, has gathered her family at their Berkshires summerhouse during the Williamstown Theatre Festival on the anniversary of her beloved daughter's death. But as restless egos and simmering jealousies derail the weekend, this family of performers must come to terms with the roles they play in each other's lives.

Donald Margulies is the author of Dinner with Friends (Pulitzer Prize), Time Stands Still, Brooklyn Boy and Sight Unseen, among many other plays. His plays have been performed on and Off-Broadway, throughout the U.S., and around the world. He is an adjunct professor at Yale University.

For over 50 years, Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for the American theatre, has existed to strengthen, nurture and promote the professional not-for-profit American theatre. TCG's constituency has grown from a handful of groundbreaking theatres to nearly 700 Member Theatres and Affiliate organizations and more than 12,000 individuals nationwide.
