The Father, Kathryn's new play, opened yesterday.
The Father is a contemporary work about dealing with Alzheimer's.
Led by three-time Tony winner and Oscar nominee Frank Langella, the American premiere of Florian Zeller's The Father starts previews at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on March 22. Translated by two-time Tony and Oscar winner Christopher Hampton and helmed by Tony winner Doug Hughes, the limited engagement will officially open on April 14.
Kathleen McNenny (Enemy of the People) will replace the previously announced Liz Wisan in the role of Woman in the production, which runs through June 12. The cast also includes Tony nominee Kathryn Erbe, Brian Avers, Charles Borland and Hannah Cabell.
The Father looks inside the mind of André (Langella), a retired tap dancer living with his adult daughter Anne and her husband. Or is he a retired engineer receiving a visit from Anne who has moved away with her boyfriend? Why do strangers keep turning up in his room? And where has he left his watch?
Zeller's drama earned him a Molière Award, France's most prestigious theater honor, in 2014. The Father concludes its West End return on March 26.
