Peter Rini (The Talls, Smash) and Laura Esterman (Marvin’s Room, Ruby the Galatic Gumshoe) will lead the cast of a newly revised version of A.R. Gurney’s The Old Boy. The off-Broadway revival, directed by Jonathan Silverstein, will run at Theatre Row’s The Clurman Theatre February 12 through March 24.
