The Roundabout Theatre Company's production of W. Somerset Maugham's The Constant Wife will open tomorrow, June 16th at the American Airlines Theatre (227 W. 42nd Street) for a limited run through August 14th. Directed by Mark Brokaw, the show stars Kate Burton as "Constance Middleton", Michael Cumpsty as "John Middleton", John Dossett as "Bernard Kersal" and Lynn Redgrave as "Mrs. Culver." 

The Constant Wife is a social comedy of marital maneuvers in 1920s upper-class London. Constance Middleton discovers that her husband is having an affair with her best friend. Rather than humiliating herself and others, she denies the affair, defends the two, and sets about turning bad luck, unfaithful friends, local gossip and a broken heart to her own advantage.

The cast also includes Enid Graham as "Martha", Kathryn Meisle as "Marie-Louise", Denis Homes as "Bentley", John Ellison Conlee as "Mortimer Durham" and Kathleen McNenney as "Barbara Fawcett".  The design team for The Constant Wife is made up of Alan Moyer (sets), Michael Krass (costumes), Mary Louise Geiger (lights) and David Van Tieghem (sound and original compositions).

The Constant Wife will play Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8:00PM with a Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinee at 2:00PM.

Tickets, which range from $46.25 - $86.25, are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212) 719-1300, visiting online at www.roundabouttheatre.org, or at the box office of the American Airlines Theatre.
