Larry Coen News

The Huntington Theatre Company world premiere of RYAN LANDRY'S 'M' is a design triumph, but the plot misfires. Karen MacDonald is an anxious menace skulking around the periphery, casting giant shadows, and Larry Coen milks every drop of humor from his multiple roles, but playwright Ryan Landry's story gets snagged between who he is and who he is trying to be.

Four Boston journalists who have each covered Ryan Landry for more than a decade will take part in a panel discussion about the playwright and producer's career, works, and unique form of satire at the Huntington Theatre Company's Humanities Forum on Sunday, April 21 following the 2pm performance of Ryan Landry's "M". Admission is to the Humanities Forum is free with a ticket to any performance of Landry's surreal screwball take on Fritz Lang's iconic film M and are available at huntingtontheatre.org/M and 617 266 0800.

Huntington Theatre Company presents the stage adaptation of Fritz Lang's iconic German film noir M, now playing through April 27, 2013 at the South End / Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production shots below.

The world premiere of Ryan Landry's "M", legendary Boston artist Ryan Landry's inspired take on Fritz Lang's film noir masterpiece M, begins at the Huntington Theatre Company on March 29. Known for his blending of classic source material with his unique brands of comedy and imaginative theatricality, Landry (Mildred Fierce) transforms the iconic film about a city panicked by an elusive child killer into a surreal, screwball take that is both hilarious and heart-stirring. Directed by Caitlin Lowans (Turn of the Screw at Stoneham Theatre), the production's ensemble cast includes Gold Dust Orphans' regulars Larry Coen and David Drake, as well as Boston favorite Karen MacDonald (Good People and All My Sons at the Huntington) in the title role that made film actor Peter Lorre famous.
