For those who missed Lincoln Center's recent NY staging of Ah, Wilderness!, a trek to New England might be in order. But make it quick: Boston's Huntington Theatre Company's production of the O'Neill classic ends its run on June 14.
The cast includes Jordan Charney (Claudius in Huntington's recent Hamlet) as Nat, the sound head of the Miller family; Laurie Kennedy (Broadway's Angels in America and countless Williamstown productions) as his sensible wife, Kate; and James Waterson as their son, Richard, a teen who is coming of age with a great deal of righteous sound and fury. Supporting them are Paul Benedict (Circle in the Square's Hughie starring Al Pacino), Kate Goehring (Angels in America's national tour), Michael Balconoff, Teddy Crecelius, Ari Graynor, Chloe Keller, Jaqueline Knapp, Michael Medico, Careena Melia, William Penick, Dale Place and Robert Walsh. Kyle Donnelly, recently of Washington's Arena Stage, will direct. Her previous efforts at the Huntington include The Little Foxes and Aristocrats.
For information, call (617) 266-0800.
The recent New York revival, directed by Daniel Sullivan, starred Craig T. Nelson, Debra Monk and Sam Trammell.
