Gibson Frazier, Martin Moran & More Join Justin Vivian Bond in Bertolt Brecht's A Man's A Man at CSC

The complete cast has been announced for Classic Stage Company's new production of Bertolt Brecht's A Man's A Man. Previews begin at the off-Broadway theater on January 10, 2014. Directed by Brian Kulick, and featuring new music by Tony winner Duncan Sheik, the production will play a limited-engagement through February 16. Opening night is set for January 30.

Joining previously announced star Justin Vivian Bond (as Widow Begbick), the full cast will feature Gibson Frazier as Galy Gay, Martin Moran as Uriah Shelley, Jason Babinsky as Polly Baker, Bill Buell as Jeraiah Jip, Steven Skybell as Jesse Mahoney, Tony winner Stephen Spinella as Bloody Five, Ching Valdes-Aran as Mr. Wang and Allan K. Washington.

A Man's A Man tells the story of Galy Gay, a simple man out shopping who, by the trickery of some soldiers, is turned into a soldier, enlisted into Her Majesty’s Armed Forces and, eventually, reassembled into a killing machine. The play is Brecht’s ode to the inhumanity of man. Kulick and Shiek collaborated on last season’s production of Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle at CSC.
