Preview performances of Edward Albee’s A Delicate Balance begin on October 20. The Broadway revival, directed by Pam MacKinnon, stars John Lithgow, Glenn Close, Lindsay Duncan and Martha Plimpton. Opening night is set for November 20 at the Golden Theatre, where it will run through February 22, 2015.
A Delicate Balance follows Agnes (Close) and Tobias (Lithgow), a long-married couple who must maintain their equilibrium as over the course of a weekend they welcome home their 36-year-old daughter (Plimpton) following the collapse of her fourth marriage. They must also give shelter to their friends, all the while tolerating Agnes’ alcoholic sister Claire (Duncan).
A Delicate Balance also features Clare Higgins and Bob Balaban.
