Roundabout Theatre Company (
Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) presents a new Broadway production of
The Philanthropist starring
Matthew Broderick,
Jonathan Cake,
Anna Madeley and
Steven Weber.
The Philanthropist, by
Christopher Hampton, is directed by
David Grindley at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd Street).
The cast also includes
Tate Ellington,
Jennifer Mudge and
Samantha Soule.
The Philanthropist is playing a limited engagement through June 28th, 2009.
The design team includes
Tim Shortall (Sets),
Tobin Ost (Costumes),
Rick Fisher (Lights) and
Gregory Clarke (Sound).
Written as a response to Molière's The Misanthrope, Hampton's biting bourgeois comedy examines the empty, insular lives of college intellectuals. At the center of the story is Philip (Broderick), a professor who seems almost absurdly removed from the political turmoil surrounding him, including the assassination of the Prime Minister and his cabinet.
