Old Vic's Hit THE NORMAN CONQUESTS Heading to Broadway?
The New York Post's Michael Riedel is stating that Alan Ayckbourn's well regarded comic trilogy "The Norman Conquests," will likely open at Circle in the Square in the fall.
This production, directed by Matthew Warchus, comes to New York by way of Kevin Spacey's Old Vic in London, where it's been a sellout for months reports the Post's Riedel. Spacey is the Director of the Old Vic.
The three plays, which à la Tom Stoppard's "The Coast of Utopia" center on a sexually omnivorous librarian, Norman. Over the course of a weekend, Norman manages to seduce his sister-in-law, his brother-in-law's wife and, in the end, his own estranged wife.
Each play is set in a different part of the same house and examines the same events from different angles.
The Old Vic cast will be making the trip to New York, so Riedel excitedly reports that we'll have a chance to see such dazzling British actors as Stephen Mangan (Norman), Jessica Hynes and Ben Miles.
