David Patrick Kelly, Jeff Still and more will join the previously announced Keira Knightley in Thérèse Raquin. Directed by Evan Cabnet and also starring winner Gabriel Ebert, Judith Light and Matt Ryan, the Broadway production will begin previews on October 1 and officially open on October 29 at Roundabout’s Studio 54.
Completing the cast along with Kelly (Uncle Vanya) as Michaud and Still (Fish in the Dark) as Grivet will be Glynis Bell (Looped) and Ray Virta (An Enemy of the People). Additionally, Mary Wiseman, Alex Mickiewicz and Sara Topham will make their Broadway debuts in the production.
Based on the novel by Émile Zola and penned by Helen Edmundson, a quiet young woman with a restless spirit, Thérèse (Knightley) submits to a loveless life at the side of her weak and selfish husband Camille (Ebert) and her controlling mother-in-law Madame Raquin (Light)…until she meets his childhood friend Laurent (Ryan). When their overwhelming passion spins violently out of control, they realize that love can be a dangerous game, and sometimes there is no winner.
