You Can't Take It With You Revival - Articles Page 35

Anna Shapiro will return to Broadway for the first time since winning the 2007 Tony Award for her direction of "August: Osage County" when she directs Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman's timeless Pulitzer Prize-winning play YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. It has been announced that the show is to be produced by Elizabeth Ireland McCann and Joey Parnes.



Not seen on Broadway in 27 years, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU will originate at Boston's Huntington Theatre Company, September 24 to October 24 pending conclusion of negotiations. The Huntington is under the direction of Artistic Director Peter DuBois and Managing Director Michael Maso.



Hart and Kaufman's masterwork portrays the colorful, freethinking Sycamore family and the mayhem that ensues when their daughter's fiancé brings his conservative, straight-laced parents to the Sycamore residence for dinner on the wrong night. Literal and figurative fireworks erupt over the course of the evening in a household that appears to be a madhouse but proves, in fact, to be the opposite: a sanctuary from the lunacies of the outside world.
