Casting Set for Goodman Theatre's Frank's Home

Casting is set for the world premiere of Richard Nelson's Frank's Home, which will begin performances at Chicago's Goodman Theatre on November 25th toward a December 5th opening.  The play will run through December 23rd.

Presented with the Goodman Theatre by Playwrights Horizons, Frank's Home will then have its New York premiere in early 2007.

Joining the previously announced Peter Weller (Summer Brave, Full Circle, Robocop films, "24") and Harris Yulin (Fran's Bed, Hedda Gabler, The Price) in the play about architecht Frank Lloyd Wright will be: Mary Beth Fisher as Frank's mistress Miriam Noel, Maggie Siff as his daughter Catherine, Jay Whitaker as his son Lloyd, Jeremy Strong as his assistant William, Chris Henry Coffey as Catherine's husband Kenneth, and Holley Fain as Helen, a schoolteacher.  Weller will play Frank Lloyd Wright, with Yulin as fellow architect and mentor Louis Sullivan.

"It is summer, 1923, and architect Frank Lloyd Wright has recently left Chicago for California, determined to embrace Hollywood's youthful zest and mend broken relationships with his adult children. Having recently completed his latest 'wonder of the world' — Tokyo's Imperial Hotel — Wright is poised to settle down and embrace his new home. But his splintered family still holds deep-seated resentments," state press materials on the play, which is directed by Robert Falls (Shining City, Aida).

The design team will include: Tom Lynch (sets), Susan Hilferty (costumes), Michael Philippi (lights), and Richard Woodbury (sound).
