A DAY BY THE SEA Extends Again at Mint Theater

Mint Theater Company has announced that the acclaimed revival of A Day by the Sea by N.C. Hunter, will now continue through October 30th at their new home at the Beckett Theater as a resident company at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street between 9th and Dyer Avenues). It was originally scheduled to end its limited run on September 24th.

Austin Pendleton directs a cast that features Ross Bickell, Frederick Buford, Curzon Dobell, Julian Elfer, Katie Firth, Philip Goodwin, Sean Gormley, Polly McKie, Kylie McVey, George Morfogen, John O'Creagh, and Jill Tanner

A Day by the Sea is a warm, human and often humorous depiction of the "crisis" of middle age. Julian Anson, a once-promising Foreign Service employee, confronts professional disappointment and personal failure while picnicking along the English seaside. Jolted into the realization that maybe it's not too late-he seizes an opportunity to correct his past mistakes and start fresh-but will the results be any different?

Mint was awarded an OBIE for "combining the excitement of discovery with the richness of tradition," and a special Drama Desk Award for "unearthing, presenting and preserving forgotten plays of merit."

Performances are Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 7:30pm with matinees Saturday & Sunday at 2:30pm. No performance September 27th; Special added Wednesday matinees at 2:30pm on September 28th and October 19th. All performances are at The Beckett Theatre at Theater Row (410 West 42nd Street between 9th and Dyer Avenues).

Tickets for all remaining performances will be $65 (including $2.25 theater restoration fee) and can be purchased online at Telecharge.com, by phone at 212/239-6200 or in person at the Theatre Row Box Office. For more information, visit minttheater.org.
