Photo Coverage: LEAVES OF GLASS on Theatre Row

Co-produced by Origin Theatre Company (which specializes in emerging European playwrights) and Stiff Upper Lip (whose bailiwick are daring British plays from London's Fringe), "Leaves of Glass" plays a limited 4-week engagement from Wednesday January 14 through Sunday February 8 at the Peter J. Sharp Theatre, 416 West 42nd Street, on Theater Row. The opening was on Sunday January 18 at 3pm, BroadwayWorld's cameras were there to meet the cast!

Directed by Ludovica Villar-Hauser, who made a splash several season's ago with "The Countess," the long-running hit drama she both directed and produced, "Leaves of Glass" had its world premiere in May 2007 in a highly acclaimed production at London's Soho Theatre.

Set in East London, "Leaves of Glass" chronicles the slow disintegration of the relationship between Stephen (portrayed by Victor Villar-Hauser), a man with what seems like an enviably stable, have-it-all life and his younger brother Barry (in the person of Euan Morton) an alcoholic painter with mental health issues. At the core of this fraternal meltdown is the haunting memory of their father's suicide at a young age, an act of selfish violence that proves to be just as responsible for the older brother's functionality as it is for the younger sibling's dysfunction.
