Primary Stages RX Begins Performances Tomorrow 1/24
Primary Stages continues its 27th season with the world premiere of the new comedy, Rx, written by Kate Fodor. Directed by Ethan McSweeny (Gore Vidal’s The Best Man, Sabina in 2005 at Primary Stages) the cast will feature Michael Bakkensen (Noises Off, Festen), Marylouise Burke (Fuddy Meers, Into The Woods, Is He Dead?), Marin Hinkle (“Two and a Half Men”, Electra), Stephen Kunken (Rock ’n’ Roll, Frost/Nixon), Paul Niebanck (In the Next Room…, Shockheaded Peter), and Elizabeth Rich (Cherry Orchard, Hannah and Martin).
About the show: Meena Pierotti’s job is making her unhappy. Luckily, there’s a pill for that. Well, not yet. Meena has joined the clinical trial for a new drug targeting workplace depression. The trial gets messy, however, when she falls in love with her doctor, who himself is trying to enroll in a drug trial targeting heartbreak.
Rx features a set design by Lee Savage, costume design by Andrea Lauer, lighting design by Matthew Richards, original music and sound design by Lindsay Jones and prop supervision by Faye Armon.
