Holly and Saul, live on stage
by Terri
If you live in the Los Angeles area, or will be there roundabout February 2008, you can see Holly and Saul themselves, Patricia Wettig and Ron Rifkin, performing in a play by Brothers & Sisters creator Jon Robin Baitz.
The production is The Paris Letter, and it’s running from February 20-24 as part of the “The Play’s the Thing!” series at L.A. Theatre Works. The play will be performed at The Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles and recorded for later broadcast on satellite radio.
Here’s the write-up on the Theatre Works site:
“The latest work from one of America’s most important young playwrights and creator of the current hit TV series, Brothers and Sisters. Financial powerhouse Sandy Sonnenberg finds his personal and professional life threatened by unraveling secrets from his past. A tragic game of financial and moral betrayal plays out over four decades, with an exacting price — family, friends, love and marriage. Variety calls it ‘head and shoulders above most current dramatic offerings … THE PARIS LETTER has potential to rank beside works of Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. Baitz writes vibrant, stingingly literate dialogue.’”
Boy, from the description, it sure sounds like another Baitz work we’ve been following frequently.
