Full Casting Announced for George Bernard Shaw's Widowers' Houses Off-Broadway

Full casting has been set for Widowers’ Houses, the first play ever written by George Bernard Shaw, off-Broadway. Directed by David Staller, the production will play a limited engagement March 1 through April 2, with opening night scheduled for March 13 at Theatre Row’s Beckett Theatre.

The company will include Jeremy Beck (The Cocktail Party) as Dr. Harry Trench, Jonathan Hadley (Rothschild & Sons) as William De Burgh Cokane, Hanna Cheek (The Persians…a comedy about war with five songs) as Waitress and Annie, Terry Layman (Cat On a Hot Tin Roof) as Sartoius, Talene Monahon (The Wild Party) as Blanche Sartorius and John Plumpis (The Man Who Had All the Luck) as Lickcheese.

In Shaw’s debut play—written during his time as an arts journalist in response to a dare by a fellow critic—a young man discovers an unsavory truth about his family-to-be, and is faced with choosing between his love and his ideals.

Widowers’ Houses will feature scenic design by Brian Prather, lighting design by Peter West, costume design by Barbara A. Bell, sound design by Toby Jaguar Algya and prop design by Lytza Colon.
