Atlantic Theater Company's production of The Voysey Inheritance, David Mamet's adaptation of the Harley Granville-Barker play about a family's secrets, has been extended for a second time, to Feb. 10, 2007.

The New York premiere production, directed by David Warren, was originally scheduled to close Jan. 7, 2007, and was later extended two weeks to Jan. 21.

The play "explores the timely issue of morals vs. money as an upper middle class family goes to pieces when it is revealed that the patriarch (Fritz Weaver) has amassed the family fortune by secretly embezzling money from his clients," according to ATC. "As his son (Michael Stuhlbarg) tries to put things in order, he discovers that the family is more than willing to perpetuate this way of doing business, rather than sacrifice their comfort and luxury."

The production features Tony Award nominee Michael Stuhlbarg (The Pillowman), Tony Award winner Fritz Weaver (Child's Play), Atlantic Company members Steven Goldstein (Atlantic's Romance) and Todd Weeks (Broadway's The Full Monty) and Rachel Black (Necessary Targets), Christopher Duva (Broadway's The Elephant Man), Peter Maloney (Atlantic's Celebration and The Room), Katharine Powell (The Water's Edge), Judith Roberts (Broadway's Present Laughter), Geddeth Smith (Broadway's Waiting In The Wings), Samantha Soule (Broadway's Dinner at Eight) and CJ Wilson (Broadway's Festen).
