Golden Globe Award nominee Williams ("Poltergeist," "The Big Chill") stars as family matriarch Polly Wyeth opposite Foxworth (Inherit the Wind, Twelve Angry Men) as her husband, Lyman.

Baitz's play debuted in an extended, sold-out run Off-Broadway at Lincoln Center Theater's Mitzi E. Newhouse in 2010 and transferred to Broadway Oct. 12, 2011. It ended its extended Broadway run June 17, 2012. A combination of explosive dramatic revelations and acidic comic barbs, the play marked playwright Baitz's Broadway debut. He earned a Tony Award nomination for his work.
