Roundabout Theatre Company's latest Off-Broadway play, APOLOGIA, by Alexi Kaye Campbell, opened at the Laura Pels Theatre earlier this month. The play stars Stockard Channing and Hugh Dancy, two beloved actors of stage and screen. But this play is no simple piece - it requires an apologia, an explanation.

Direct from London, Alexi Kaye Campbell's biting play Apologia makes its New York debut with Stockard Channing in a powerhouse performance as a woman facing the repercussions of her past. Apologia is a passionate, human and humorous clash of generations and beliefs-a lively look at yesterday's rebels living in today's reality.

Apologia officially opened last night. Let's see what the critics are saying...
