Up on the Marquee: THERESE RAQUIN

The Broadway adaptation of Thérèse Raquin will star Academy and Golden Globe nominee Keira Knightley (Thérèse) making her Broadway debut alongside Tony award winner Gabriel Ebert (Camille), Matt Ryan(Laurent) and two-time Tony award winner Judith Light (Madame Raquin). This adaptation of Thérèse Raquin is written by Helen Edmundson, based upon the novel by Émile Zola, directed by Evan Cabnet.

Thérèse Raquin will begin preview performances on Thursday, October 1, 2015, and open officially on Thursday, October 29, 2015 on Broadway at Studio 54.

Helen Edmundson's new adaptation of Thérèse Raquin was commissioned by Roundabout Theatre Company.

A quiet young woman with a restless spirit, Thérèse (Knightley) submits to a loveless life at the side of her weak and selfish husband played by Tony Award winner Gabriel Ebert (Matilda), and her controlling mother-in-law, played by two-time Tony Award winner Judith Light (The Assembled Parties)...until she meets his childhood friend Laurent played by Matt Ryan ("Constantine"). When their overwhelming passion spins violently out of control, they realize that love can be a dangerous game, and sometimes there is no winner. Based on the novel by Émile Zola, Thérèse Raquin by Helen Edmundson is a tale of love, lust, betrayal and guilt that will leave you breathless.

The design team includes Beowulf Boritt (sets), Jane Greenwood (costumes), Keith Parham (lighting), and Josh Schmidt (sound).
