The Homecoming, directed by Daniel Sullivan, is set to begin previews Nov. 23 for a 20-week limited engagement at Broadway's Cort Theatre. The official opening of the Harold Pinter play is scheduled for Dec. 13; performances will continue through April 13, 2008.
Set in North London, The Homecoming, according to press notes, "concerns the ultimate dysfunctional family, presided over by its patriarch Max (Ian McShane). Living under his dilapidated roof are his younger brother Sam (Michael McKean), and two of his sons: Lenny (Raśl Esparza), the town pimp, and Joey (Gareth Saxe), a boxer-in-training. Tensions begin to flair with the arrival of Max's eldest son Teddy (James Frain), who returns home after six years with his new wife Ruth (Eve Best). Seduction, betrayal, and divisiveness ensue, as the family welcomes the homecoming of its estranged brother and vies for the attention of his dangerously alluring wife."
