Tim Daly & More Set for Penelope Skinner’s The Ruins of Civilization Off-Broadway

Tim Daly and more have been tapped for Penelope Skinner’s The Ruins of Civilization. Directed by Leah C. Gardiner, tickets are now available for the world premiere, which will play a limited engagement off-Broadway May 4 through June 5. Opening night is set for May 18 at Manhattan Theatre Club's New York City Center—Stage II.

Joining Daly (Madam Secretary) as Silver will be Orlagh Cassidy (The Field) as Joy, Rachael Holmes (Ruined) as Dolores and Roxanna Hope (Frost/Nixon) as Maria.

From the playwright behind The Village Bike, sometime in the future, Dolores and Silver are living their married life within the constraints and norms of a new world order. In an act of what seems like pure generosity, Dolores secretly opens their home to a stranger in need; but will she come to regret it? Can her actions have an impact or is it just too late?

The production will feature scenic design by Neil Patel, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Philip S. Rosenberg and original music and sound design by John Gromada.
