Primary Stages currently presents the New York premiere of A.R. Gurney's Buffalo Gal Off-Broadway at 59E59 Theaters.

Mark Lamos (Cymbeline, Indian Blood) directs the new work featuring Susan Sullivan, Mark Blum, Carmen M. Herlihy, Jennifer Regan, James Waterston and Dathan B. Williams.

Buffalo Gal is billed as "a comedy that centers around Amanda, a once successful television personality whose star is now fading. Life imitates art as she returns to her hometown of Buffalo to star in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Just as she is connecting with her roots – both on stage and off – she is called back to Hollywood for a role that could recharge her career. Will her love of theatre be enough to keep her in Buffalo?"

Gurney, known for Love Letters and The Dining Room, has previously seen Primary Stages present his The Fourth Wall, Strictly Academic and Indian Blood.

Here is a look at his latest show:
