Peccadillo artistic director Dan Wackerman will stage the production that will begin performances June 3 and run through July 3. An official opening has been set for June 7 at the Theatre at St. Clement's.
The Southern-set work will feature Sherman Howard, Elizabeth Norment, Matthew Floyd Miller, Stephanie Wright Thompson, Ben Curtis, Kendall Rileigh, Christopher Kelly, Ryah Nixon, Christopher Lukas, Perri Gaffney, Anthony Wills Jr. and Oliver Buckingham.
Peccadillo, which devotes its programming to revivals of American classics, describes the work as telling "the story of the most 'dysfunctional' family in all of American drama- the notorious Hubbards — wealthy, ruthless, and immoral — and their rise to prominence."
Another Part of the Forest will have scenic design by Joseph Spirito, costume design by Amy C. Bradshaw and lighting design by Kate Ashton.
"Peccadillo's production of Another Part of the Forest will keep the play in its proper time and place [Bowden, Alabama ca. 1880], but steer away from the 'kitchen sink' realism often associated with Hellman's plays," Wackerman said in a statement. "By simplifying the elements of the physical production, a skeletal reproduction of an ante-bellum mansion, for example, and costuming that recreates the Victorian silhouette but eliminates fussy detail, we hope to emphasize the universal and timeless aspects of the play- the psychological dynamics which make this family drama as relevant today as when it was written." Another Part of the Forest debuted on Broadway in 1946, following The Little Foxes, which premiered in 1939. Patricia Neal earned a Tony Award for her performance as Regina Hubbard. Hellman directed the production that featured a score by Marc Blitztein.
