Here's how producers bill the work: "When a captivating young woman enters the life of the quixotic Mr. Berry, his desperation to ensure her return causes him to declare his wife dead and give away her clothes in exchange for elocution lessons. But as the very much alive Mrs. Berry searches for a reason for her rapidly diminishing wardrobe, Mr. Berry finds both his relationships under threat."
Here is a look at the cast and guests on opening night:
Blethyn ('night Mother, "Little Voice," "Secrets & Lies") stars as Mrs. Berry with Niall Buggy (Translations) as Mr. Berry and Beth Cooke in her New York stage debut as Hazel. Braham Murray directs.
59E59 Theaters, at 59 E. 59th Street, is run by Elysabeth Kleinhans (artistic director) and Peter Tear (executive producer).
