The Drama Desk and Obie Award-winning Keen Company's newly revised version of A.R. Gurney's 1991 play, The Old Boy, which began performances Feb. 12, has extended its Off-Broadway run.

Originally scheduled to continue through March 24, performances will now play an extra week through March 30. Directed by Jonathan Silverstein, the production will officially open March 5 at 7 PM.

The cast features Tom Riis Farrell, Marsha Dietlein Bennett, Cary Donaldson, Chris Dwan, Laura Esterman and Peter Rini.

The Old Boy, according to Keen Company notes, is "the story of a successful politician who returns to his elite prep school to dedicate a building to his best friend, only to discover he may have been responsible for his death."

The production has scenic design by Steven Kemp, costume design by Jennifer Paar, lighting design by Josh Bradford and sound design and original music by Ryan Rumery.

Show times are Tuesday at 7 PM, Wednesday-Friday at 8 PM, Saturday at 2 PM and 8 PM and Sunday at 3 PM.
