Butley is a dark comedy about a literature professor whose world is crumbling around him. Faced with surprising news from both his wife and his lover, Butley fights for his life with his best weapon: his acid wit.

The design team is: Alexander Dodge (set), Ann Roth (costumes), David Weiner (lighting) and John Gromada (sound).

Nathan Lane starred in a critically acclaimed production of Butley at The Huntington in 2003, also directed by Nicholas Martin. Mr. Lane is the winner of two Tony Awards, for his performances in The Producers and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. He also starred on Broadway in The Odd Couple, Guys and Dolls, Love! Valour! Compassion! The Frogs, and Laughter on the 23rd Floor.

Nicholas Martin directed the acclaimed Broadway production of Hedda Gabler starring Kate Burton. His off-Broadway credits include Fully Committed, Time of the Cuckoo and Bosoms and Neglect. He is the artistic director of Boston's Huntington Theatre Company and Michael Maso is the Managing Director.
