Coming up next for Mint Theater Company will be the first ever New York revival of A Day by the Sea by N.C. Hunter, directed by Austin Pendleton. This will be the Mint's first production as a resident theater company at Theatre Row. Performances continue through September 24th at their new home at the Beckett Theater at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street between 9th and Dyer Avenues). Opening Night is set for August 25th. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Austin Pendleton returns to the Mint to direct a cast that features Curzon Dobell, Julian Elfer, Katie Firth, Philip Goodwin, Sean Gormley, Polly McKie, Kylie McVey, George Morfogen, Athan Sporek, and Jill Tanner. A Day by the Sea has scenic design by Charles Morgan; costume design by Martha Hally; lighting design by Xavier Pierce; and sound design by Jane Shaw.

Mint Theater is proud to welcome back Pendleton who has had a long association with the Mint, dating back to before the company turned its attention to reviving lost and neglected plays. In 1995 Mint produced the World Premiere of Pendleton's play, Uncle Bob, featuring George Morfogen in the title role, which was written for him. Austin and George first worked together in 1960 and have been fast friends ever since. The Mint is thrilled to have them together again for A Day at the Sea.

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?

All performances are at The Beckett Theatre at Theater Row (410 West 42nd Street between 9th and Dyer Avenues). Tickets for all performances are $57.50 (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.
