Entertaining Mr. Sloane, Starring Baldwin, Opens March 16
"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," state press notes.
Baldwin received a Tony Award nomination for his work in the 1992 revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, and has also appeared on New York stages in Twentieth Century, Prelude to a Kiss, Loot and Serious Money. His many film credits include The Hunt for Red October, Glengarry Glen Ross, Pearl Harbor, The Aviator and The Cooler, for which he received an Oscar nod.
