A Delicate Balance, Starring John Lithgow, Glenn Close & More, Opens on Broadway

It’s a full house, whether they like it or not! The Broadway revival of Edward Albee’s A Delicate Balance opens officially at the Golden Theatre on November 20. Pam MacKinnon directs a cast that includes Tony winners and Oscar nominees John Lithgow and Glenn Close.

To celebrate the show’s opening night, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this sketch of the tumultuous bunch. In addition to Lithgow and Close as heads of household Tobias and Agnes, the portrait features Lindsay Duncan as Agnes’ fiery alcoholic sister Claire, Martha Plimpton as their troubled daughter Julia and Clare Higgins and Bob Balaban as Edna and Harry, their friends who stop by unexpectedly for…who knows how long.

Broadway.com wishes the cast of A Delicate Balance a happy opening! Have an extra drink for us! Or, you know, take it easy.



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
