Trinity Rep continues Season 51: The Necessity of Human Connection with Will Eno's Middletwon, directed by Curt Columbus. Middletown runs now through February 22, 2014 in Trinity Rep's Dowling Theater. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
"Welcome to the little town of Middletown. Ordinary place, ordinary time. But aren't they all? No. They are not, all," opens celebrated playwright Will Eno's acclaimed 2010 play. Wry, bittersweet and achingly beautiful, Middletown takes a microscope to small-town American living, revealing universal themes of love, birth, death, loneliness, elation, forgiveness, disappointment and redemption. Showcasing an ensemble cast, including seven member of the resident acting company, this production is directed by Curt Columbus.
The cast features Trinity Rep resident acting company members Angela Brazil, Janice Duclos, Rebecca Gibel, Mauro Hantman, Fred Sullivan, Jr., Rachel Warren and Joe Wilson, Jr. with Brown/Trinity Rep actor Lee Osorio and Brown/Trinity Rep MFA alum Justin Blanchard, and guest Tracy Allard.
Bringing Eno's version of the universal yet specifically New England town of Middletown to life include designers Alison Carrier (costumes), Josh Epstein (lights), Peter Sasha Hurowitz (sound) and Deb O (sets) with stage manager Kristen Gibbs.
