Channing, Alexander Star In Westport Country Playhouse's
THE BREATH OF LIFE, Runs 9/29-10/17
by BWW News Desk
Jane Alexander and Stockard Channing will appear in Sir David Hare's witty and elegant "The Breath of Life" at Westport Country Playhouse, September 29 through October 17. Mark Lamos, named artistic director in February 2009 at the historic theater in Westport, Connecticut, will direct. "The Breath of Life" will be the final production in The Playhouse's six-play 2009 season.
"I saw ‘The Breath of Life" when it premiered in London and was seduced by its quietly profound and wonderfully intelligent depiction of two women who share an obsession that has deeply affected their lives," said Lamos. "When I accepted the offer to become artistic director at The Playhouse a few months ago, it was one of the first plays I thought about producing here."
Lamos continued, "The play will star two of America's most distinguished and gifted actresses--actresses who can bring these two women to life in all their vulnerability, wit and despairing irony.
