Award-winning stage, screen and TV stars Kathleen Chalfant (Wit, Angels in America) and Patricia Elliott ("One Life to Live," A Little Night Music, The Shadow Box) will co-star in Vita & Virginia for 12 Monday nights at 7 PM at the Zipper Factory Theater (336 West 37th Street) beginning February 11 and continuing through April 28, 2008. Presented by The No Frills Company.

Pamela Berlin will direct the play Eileen Atkins adapted from the correspondence between writers Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West.  Presented by The No Frills Company, tickets at $35 are available via www.thezipperfactory.com or (212) 352-3101.

"The play, about two extraordinary 20th Century women exploring their passions, literary and otherwise, takes place in the 1920s and 1930s and through the first years of WWII. It deals, in a very timely way, with women seeking their place in the world as they face personal and professional conflicts as well as the looming world war," explain press notes.

Butterfly; Nine Armenians; Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell; Five By Tenn; Talking Heads and A Hard Heart.
