'Coronado' by Lehane Opens March 22 at SF Playhouse
The SF Playhouse is pleased to announce casting of the fourth show in their 5th season, the West Coast Premiere of Coronado by Dennis Lehane directed by Susi Damilano.
The cast includes: Kate Del Castillo, Chad Deverman, Bill English, Loraine Olsen, Louis Parnell, Stacy Ross, Will Springhorn Jr, Rebecca Schweitzer and Phillip Torretto.
"Coronado, a mystery thriller from the pen of Dennis Lehane, (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone) is a crime-noir ride through the lives and passions of Middle Americans told through three intertwining tales: A father and son searching for a missing girl and a stolen diamond, a psychiatrist and a patient having an illicit affair, and two lovers plotting a murder. Complete with shady characters, sex and murder, Coronado taps into that unsettling place where the familiar turns eerie as it explores our connection to our past and future selves and the things we are willing to do for love, for money, and finally, for redemption," describe press notes.
Coronado, Lehane's first play, debuted in New York in December 2005. The play had its regional premiere at American Stage in St. Petersburg in April 2006 and its Midwest premiere in the fall of 2007 with Steep Theatre Company in Chicago. Based on his acclaimed short story "Until Gwen," which was originally published in The Atlantic Monthly and was selected for both The Best American Short Stories and The Best Mystery Short Stories of 2005.
