Maxwell Caulfield and Amelia Campbell Ready for Off-Broadway Tryst

Karoline Leach's Tryst, a romantic thriller set in Edwardian England, will be the next tenant at the Promenade Theatre off-Broadway. Maxwell Caulfield and Amelia Campbell will team up for the new play, directed by Joe Brancato.

Tryst tells the story of how George Love, a handsome conman who woos loved-starved women, meets Adelaide Pinchon, a desperate woman, who dreams beyond her mundane world at the local millinery store. Mr. Love has a history of illicit affairs, but after meeting the fantasizing shop-girl, there is a twist of fate. The press materials for Tryst include a "warning" of onstage nudity in the production.

Caulfield starred on Broadway in An Inspector Calls and off-Broadway in Entertaining Mr. Sloane, My Night with Reg and Salonica as well as in tours of The Elephant Man and Sleuth. After starting on the stage, Caulfield made a splash in the movie Grease 2 and went on to star in the TV series Dynasty and The Colbys.

Campbell earned a Tony nomination for the Broadway play Our Country's Good and was also seen on the Great White Way in The Herbal Bed, Translations and A Small Family Business. Off-Broadway credits include The Exonerated and Love, Janis.

An earlier version of Tryst was seen on the London stage in 1997 with the title The Mysterious Mr. Love. The off-Broadway staging is set to start performances on March 21 and open on April 6.
