Among the productions expected to hit the stage are Craig Lucas' The Singing Forest and Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten. Other possibilities include Tom Stoppard's Travesties, Molière's The Misanthrope and William Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Lucas' The Singing Forest — which is slated to make its world premiere at Seattle's Intiman Theatre — is an epic play, which interweaves the tales of three generations of one family, from New York in 2000 to Vienna in the 1930s.
O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten was last seen on Broadway in a 2000 revival starring Gabriel Byrne, Cherry Jones and Roy Dotrice. The work, set in a Connecticut farmhouse in early September 1923, centers around the struggles of the strong, sturdy woman with her never-do-well father and weak-willed, dissolute, would-be beau.
Long Wharf Theatre currently present Nobel Laureate Dario Fo's We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay! on its mainstage through April 4 and Tracey Scott Wilson's The Story on Stage II through March 14.
