Revival of Tony Winner David Rabe's Hurlyburly Opens Off-Broadway

Tony winner David Rabe’s chilling comedy Hurlyburly opens off-Broadway February 19. Directed by Rich Ferraioli, the cast features Deven Anderson, Jacklyn Collier, Rachel Cora, Kirk Gostkowski, Chris Harcum, Brandon Scott Hughes and Christina Elise Perry.

Set in the Hollywood Hills of the mid-1980s, Hurlyburly focuses on four men caught in a world of parties, backbiting, lies, and self-obsession in the decade of decadence. But a string of encounters with destiny convinces one of them to dig beneath the surface to discover his soul.

The original production of Hurlyburly, directed by Mike Nichols, was a hit on Broadway in 1984 and featured William Hurt, Judith Ivey, Harvey Keitel, Jerry Stiller, Sigourney Weaver and Cynthia Nixon. Though originally presented in three-acts, the Variations Theatre Group production at the Chain Theatre will mount the revised version used in the 2005 revival starring Ethan Hawke and Bobby Cannavale.
