House for Sale, Transport Group's Adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's Essay, Begins Performances at the Duke

The Transport Group’s new off-Broadway show House for Sale begins performances October 14 at off-Broadway's Duke on 42nd Street. Adapted by Daniel Fish from The Corrections author Jonthan Franzen's essay of the same name, the show will open on October 21. The limited engagement runs through November 18.

House for Sale follows Franzen as he travels to his childhood home in Missouri to prepare to put it on the market following his mother’s passing. In the process, he is immersed in memories of his childhood, growing up in a place he once cherished. Each of the show's five actors acts out scenes in the essay.

House for Sale will star Rob Campbell (Ivanov and Translations), Lisa Joyce (La Bete), Christina Rouner (Coram Boy), Merritt Janson (Notes From Underground) and Michael Rudko (Serious Money, The Best Man and Mary Stuart).
