Adriane Lenox, Portia and Victor Slezak will join previously announced stars Joanna Gleason and Jordan Charney in Primary Stages' forthcoming New York premiere production of Willy Holtzman's Something You Did. Performances begin on March 18 at 59E59 Theaters, with opening night set for April 1. The limited engagement will run through April 26, directed by Carolyn Cantor.
In Something You Did Gleason plays a notorious '60s radical who has served nearly 30 years in prison for her part in the accidental killing of an African-American police officer during an explosive war protest. Now she is eligible for parole in a post 9/11 world where bombing is terrorism and dissent, treason. How much can she be faulted for having a conscience? Is she guilty of bringing the war home? Something You Did is described as a topical and provocative drama that examines the responsibility of citizens for the actions of their government.
The creative team for Something You Did includes Eugene Lee sets, Jenny Mannis costumes, Jeff Croiter lighting, and Lindsay Jones sound. Running through March 1 at Primary Stages is the world premiere of Brooke Berman's Hunting and Gathering.
