The Country Girl

  • Preview Date: April 3, 2008  Opening Date: April 27, 2008  

Clifford Odets' rarely performed play, which premiered in 1950, is revived with a stellar cast, including Morgan Freeman, Frances McDormand and Peter Gallagher, directed by Mike Nichols.  The first major New York production in more than thirty years, The Country Girl is a classic backstage story.

Being an actor's wife is not the glamorous role so many imagine. Life is either feast or famine with months of the year spent in bolstering up the morale of a man out of work. Then comes the event that all actors pray for—the really big part in an important new play. Of course he should take it. Only Georgie knew the struggle it would be to pull Frank together.

Morgan Freeman, Frances McDormand and Peter Gallagher are superb! Crisply directed by Mike Nichols, The Country Girl features some of the finest acting of the season! - NY Post
