Anthony Head, Lesley Manville and Obi Abili lead a cast that also features Zoe Boyle, Sarah Goldberg, Michael Goldsmith, Ilan Goodman, Stephen Greif, Kevin Kiely, John Moraitis, Luke Neal, Steven Pacey, Ian Redford, Sara Stewart, Paul Stocker and Kevin Trainor.
Six Degrees of Separation is described in press materials as a "sharp, vivacious take on two worlds colliding," the piece was inspired by the real-life story of a flamboyant con artist who managed to convince wealthy residents of Manhattan's Upper East Side that he was the son of Sidney Poitier.
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
