Box Office Now Open for Lisa Kron's Well, Opening March 30

The box office for Well, a new comedy written by Lisa Kron and directed by Leigh Silverman, opens today, February 24th. The show will open on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre (220 West 48 Street) on March 30, 2006. Previews will begin on March 10.

Obie Award-winners Lisa Kron and Jayne Houdyshell will reprise the roles they created at The Public Theater last year. They will be joined by Daniel Breaker, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, John Hoffman, and Christina Kirk. Well will be produced by Elizabeth I. McCann and Scott Rudin, Boyett Ostar, Roger Berlind, and True Love Productions.

Well "opens with Lisa Kron's mother sitting on a La-Z-Boy recliner in the middle of the stage. As the play goes on to deal with Kron's personal experiences of healing, a comedic coup d'état breaks out. The actors critique the script, her memories conflict with her flashbacks, her mother interrupts with her own opinions, and Kron finds herself in danger of losing control. The result is a hilarious and brazen piece that questions our thoughts on the conventions of both theatre and wellness," according to press notes.
