Elevator Repair Service's The Sound and the Fury Extends Before Opening Off-Broadway; Tix Now Available

The Sound and the Fury has already extended its return engagement off-Broadway. The show, directed by John Collins and created by Elevator Repair Service, will begin previews in The Public Theater’s Martinson Theater on May 14 and now run through June 27; it had previously been set to shutter on June 13. Opening night is scheduled for May 21 and tickets are now on sale for the production.

The Sound and the Fury is based on William Faulkner's celebrated novel of the same name and follows the fictional Compson family of Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi. A once noble clan descended from a Civil War hero, the family falls victim to racism, greed and selfishness, embodying the clash between changing times and old ideals in the post-Civil War era. The play covers Part One of Faulkner's novel, April Seventh, 1928.

The ensemble cast is set to include Mike Iveson, Vin Knight, Aaron Landsman, Randolph Curtis Rand, Greig Sargeant, Kaneza Schaal, Susie Sokol, Lucy Taylor, Tory Vazquez, Daphne Gaines, Rosie Goldensohn, Pete Simpson and Ben Williams.

The Sound and the Fury will feature scenic design by David Zinn, costume design by Colleen Werthmann, additional costumes by Jacob A. Climber, lighting design by Mark Barton and sound design by Matt Tierney.
