Behind Westport Country Playhouse's THE CIRCLE

Westport Country Playhouse has released a video, taped in rehearsal, offering a look at the upcoming production (June 7 - 25) of "The Circle," a stylish comedy by W. Somerset Maugham, with insight from Mark Lamos, Westport Country Playhouse artistic director; Nicholas Martin, director of "The Circle"; and cast members including Golden Globe Award winner and Academy Award nominee Marsha Mason and Drama Desk Award winner and Tony Award nominee Paxton Whitehead.

Many years ago, Lord Champion-Cheney was abandoned by his wife, Lady Catherine, who ran off to Italy with her lover. Bringing matters full circle, his stuffy son Arnold is now involved in a love triangle of his own as his bored wife is smitten with a handsome house guest. "The Circle" explores how history often is destined to repeat itself. "The Circle," the second production in the Playhouse's 80th birthday year, is considered Maugham's wittiest play, a seamless blend of romance and repartee.
