Entertaining Mr. Sloane Begins Previews Friday, February 17th

Previews begin Friday, February 17th for Roundabout Theatre Company's (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) production of Joe Orton's Entertaining Mr. Sloane featuring Alec Baldwin, Chris Carmack, Richard Easton and Jan Maxwell and directed by Roundabout Associate Artistic Director Scott Ellis.

Entertaining Mr. Sloane opens officially on Thursday, March 16, 2006 at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46 Street). This is a limited engagement through Sunday, May 21, 2006.

Joe Orton's classic dark comedy Entertaining Mr. Sloane centers on a handsome stranger with a secret, his libidinous landlady, her gender-bending brother and geriatric father. Kath's (Maxwell) language may be prim but her intentions are blatant when she picks up Mr. Sloane (Carmack) and takes him in as a lodger. Attractive, mischievous and dangerous, Sloane eventually has Kath, her brother Ed (Baldwin) and their father Kemp (Easton) eating out of his hand as they all compete for his favors. Together they play out a sexual tug of war, sparking a series of murderously funny events in this survival of the fittest power struggle where they will resort to anything to get what they want.
