By: BWW News Desk Dec. 13, 2006
Atlantic Theater Company (Artistic Director, Neil Pepe; Managing Director, Andrew D. Hamingson) is proud to announce a two week extension of the New York premiere production of David Mamet's new adaptation of Harley Granville Barker's play THE VOYSEY INHERITANCE, directed by David Warren. Due to high ticket demand following strong reviews, the limited engagement originally scheduled through January 7, 2007 has been extended two weeks through Sunday, January 21, 2007.
David Mamet's new adaptation of Harley Granville Barker's classic play THE VOYSEY INHERITANCE explores the timely issue of morals vs. money as an upper middle class family goes to pieces when it is revealed that the patriarch (Fritz Weaver) has amassed the family fortune by secretly embezzling money from his clients. As his son (Michael Stuhlbarg) tries to put things in order, he discovers that the family is more than willing to perpetuate this way of doing business, rather than sacrifice their comfort and luxury.
THE VOYSEY INHERITANCE features Tony Award® nominee Michael Stuhlbarg (The Pillowman), Tony Award® winner Fritz Weaver (Child's Play), Atlantic Company members Steven Goldstein (Atlantic's Romance) and Todd Weeks (Broadway's The Full Monty) and Rachel Black (Necessary Targets), Christopher Duva (Broadway's The Elephant Man), Peter Maloney (Atlantic's Celebration and The Room), Katharine Powell (The Water's Edge), Judith Roberts (Broadway's Present Laughter), Geddeth Smith (Broadway's Waiting In The Wings), Samantha Soule (Broadway's Dinner at Eight) and CJ Wilson (Broadway's Festen).
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Atlantic Theater Company co-founder David Mamet returns to Atlantic following the acclaimed world premiere production of his comedy Romance, which subsequently enjoyed celebrated engagements at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and The Almeida Theatre in London. Mamet founded Atlantic Theater Company with actor William H. Macy in 1985, and over the last twenty years, the company has staged more than two dozen of the prolific playwright's works including Edmond, American Buffalo, Sexual Perversity in Chicago and The Water Engine.
THE VOYSEY INHERITANCE began previews on November 15 and officially opened on December 6 at Atlantic Theater Company (336 West 20th Street, between 8th & 9th Avenues).
THE VOYSEY INHERITANCE plays Tuesday through Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 2pm & 8pm and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. All tickets are $60.00 and are available by calling Telecharge at 212-239-6200 (Telecharge.com).
