Julia Gibson and Reg Rogers join Marin Hinkle in the cast of the upcoming Craig Lucas adaptation of Miss Julie at Off-Broadway's Rattlestick Theatre.
The new take on August Strindberg's classic is set to play May 12-June 19 at the downtown stage with an opening scheduled for May 19. Anders Cato directs.
In Miss Julie, a flirtation between a young aristocratic woman and her father's servant becomes more than the lady bargained for in the psycho-sexual drama filled with obsession, ambition and manipulation.
Gibson — who recently directed Bliss at the Rattlestick served as standby for the recent Broadway revival of 'night, Mother. She has appeared in The Exonerated national tour, Stealing Sweets and Punching People (Summer Play Festival) and The Public's Shakespeare in the Park stagings of Measure for Measure and Henry VIII.
Rogers has performed on Broadway in The Molière Comedies, Holiday, Proposals and Off-Broadway in The Dazzle, Unwrap Your Candy, Lobster Alice, Look Back in Anger, Cellini and Four Dogs and a Bone.
Hinkle — known to television audiences for her turns in "Two and a Half Men" and "Once and Again" — has appeared on Broadway in A Thousand Clowns, Electra and The Tempest. Other credits include Tony Kushner's adaptation of A Dybbuk (NYSF), The Fourth Sister (Vineyard Theatre), Sabina (Primary Stages), Blue Window and the world premiere of Neil Simon's Rose and Walsh (Geffen Playhouse).
Lucas, who won the 2004 OBIE Award for Best American Play for Small Tragedy, has also penned the plays Prelude to a Kiss, Stranger, This Thing of Darkness and The Dying Gaul — which he recently adapted and directed for the big screen starring Campbell Scott, Patricia Clarkson and Peter Sarsgaard. The scribe's Reckless was just revived on Broadway earlier this season and the Adam Guettel musical The Light in the Piazza for which he penned the book is set to debut March 17 at Lincoln Center Theatre's Vivian Beaumont with an April 18 opening. His latest work, Singing Forest, made its world premiere at Seattle's Intiman Theatre and played recently at New Haven, Connecticut's Long Wharf Theatre.
The design team includes John McDermott (set), Oliviera Gajik (costumes), Ed mcCarthy (lighting) and Scott Killian (sound). The production stage manager is Page Vandenburg.
