Video: First Look at Edward Albee's A DELICATE BALANCE at Walnut Street Theatre

Walnut Street Theatre has released the official trailer for Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance, continuing its 217th season on the Mainstage. Directed by Producing Artistic Director Bernard Havard, previews begin February 24, the production opens March 4, and runs through March 29.

Written by Edward Albee in 1965–66, A Delicate Balance premiered on Broadway in 1966 and won the 1967 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the first of three Pulitzer Prizes awarded to Albee. The play centers on Agnes and Tobias, whose orderly suburban life is disrupted when their longtime friends, Edna and Harry, arrive unannounced, gripped by an unnamed terror and asking to stay. As tensions mount within the household, long-held resentments and emotional fault lines surface.

The cast includes Alicia Roper as Agnes, Paul L. Nolan as Tobias, Grace Gonglewski as Claire, Wendy Scharfman as Edna, Peter Schmitz as Harry, and Alanna J. Smith as Julia.

The creative team features scenic design by Roman Tatarowicz, lighting design by Ryan O’Gara, sound design by Christopher Colucci, costume design by Rebecca Dwight, and wig design by Amari Callaway.
