Mikhail Baryshnikov to Star in THE MAN IN A CASE at Hartford Stage

The Tony Award®-winning Hartford Stage, under the leadership of Darko Tresnjak, Artistic Director, and Michael Stotts, Managing Director, has just announced Mikhail Baryshnikov will make his Hartford Stage debut in the world premiere stage adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Man in a Case, with direction and choreography by Annie-B Parson and co-direction by Paul Lazar, playing February 21 – March 24, 2013.

Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar, the team behind the internationally acclaimed Big Dance Theater, bring their signature style fusing theater and movement to this World Premiere adaptation of Anton Chekov's 1898 short story, The Man in a Case. In a tale both witty and haunting, a shy, reclusive man's courtship of a carefree young woman forces him to stare down his own rigid nature. Mikhail Baryshnikov stars, and is joined onstage with a cast that includes Jess Barbagallo, Tymberly Canale, and Chris Giarmo.

The Man in a Case is a co-production with Baryshnikov Productions in association with ArKtype / Thomas O. Kriegsmann. Hartford Stage 2012-13 season subscriptions, including The Man in a Case, are on sale beginning April 30 by calling 860-527-5151 or visiting www.hartfordstage.org. Single tickets will go on sale at a later date.
