THE PARIS LETTER is about sex, power and money. Wall Street powerhouse Sandy Sonnenberg (Rifkin) finds his personal and professional life threatened by the unraveling secrets of his past. A tragic game of financial and moral betrayal is played out over four decades and between two friends at the cost of family, friendship, love and marriage.

Baitz's acclaimed adaptation of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, starring Kate Burton was produced on Broadway in 2001. His play The Substance of Fire was turned into a Miramax feature film starring Ron Rifkin and Sarah Jessica Parker, with a screenplay adapted by Baitz.

Doug Hughes returns to Roundabout where his work can currently be seen in Stephen Belber's McReele at the Laura Pels Theatre and on Broadway in John Patrick Shanley's Doubt (Tony Award Nomination, Best Direction of a Play).
