Tickets Now on Sale for The Road to Mecca, Starring Carla Gugino, Jim Dale & Rosemary Harris

Tickets are now on sale for the Broadway premiere of Athol Fugard’s The Road To Mecca, starring Tony winners Rosemary Harris and Jim Dale and Broadway vet Carla Gugino. The Roundabout Theatre Company production, directed by Gordon Edelstein, will begin previews on December 16 and open officially on January 17, 2012 at the American Airlines Theatre.

Set in the region of South Africa known as the Karoo, The Road to Mecca tells the story of an elderly woman who has spent the years since her husband’s death transforming her home into an intricate and dazzling work of art. The reclusive Miss Helen (Harris) has become depressed and appears increasingly unable to care for herself. Pastor Marius Byleveld (Dale), who embodies the village’s conservative values, is determined to get Miss Helen into an old-age home. Her friend Elsa (Gugino), a young teacher from Cape Town who is deeply suspicious of the patriarchal traditions Byleveld represents, is just as determined that Miss Helen remain free.
