The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore, Starring Olympia Dukakis, Extends Off-Broadway

Tennessee Williams’ The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore, starring Oscar winner Olympia Dukakis, has extended its run at off-Broadway’s Laura Pels Theatre by one week. The play, directed by Michael Wilson, opened on January 30 and was originally scheduled to run through April 3. It will now run through April 10.

Dukakis is joined on stage by Maggie Lacey, Edward Hibbert, Darren Pettie, Curtis Billings and Elisa Bocanegra. Gordana Rashovich, currently on standby for Dukakis, will play the leading role of Flora Goforth on Wednesday evenings through March 30.

The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore takes place at the picturesque Italian mountaintop home of Flora Goforth, a wealthy American widow who has detached from the world in order to write her memoirs. When a handsome and mysterious young visitor arrives without warning to keep Flora company in her final hours, this dreamlike play blossoms into a fascinating meditation on life and death.
