William Inge's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Picnic returns to Broadway in a striking new production helmed by acclaimed director Sam Gold (Roundabout's Look Back in Anger, Seminar). Passionate, sensual and delightfully funny, Picnic is a timeless American classic about the line between restraint and desire.

Hunky Drifter Stirs Local Biddies in ‘Picnic’: Review
7 / 10
The voltage is more palpable in Joshua Logan's 1955 film starring a smoldering Kim Novak and a feral William Holden than it is in this earnestly detailed but sexless revival. Sebastian and Grace look the parts, but an essential element of palpable desire is missing...Still, if there's any justice in the world, a special Tony Award for most intense duet would go to Reed Birney and Elizabeth Marvel, who play Howard and Rosemary, the owner of a dry-goods store and a school teacher.
Theater review: ‘Picnic’ on Broadway
8 / 10
Stan ('Gossip Girl,' 'Captain America') has the right rugged looks for Hal, played by William Holden in the '55 film. He's a character built to be objectified as beefcake and to sizzle in shirtless scenes. Beefy Stan rivals the porterhouses at Peter Luger's and he brings out Hal's vulnerable side. Even better is Grace, a coltish blonde known for movies, including 'Taken' and 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.' She's a natural onstage. Her work is assured and understated and brings an air of introspection to Madge.
