Gabriel Ebert, Judith Light & Matt Ryan Will Join Keira Knightley in Therese Raquin on Broadway

This is some cast! Tony winners Gabriel Ebert and Judith Light, along with Matt Ryan, will join the previously reported Keira Knightley in Thérèse Raquin. Directed by Evan Cabnet, the Roundabout production will begin previews on October 1 and officially open on October 29 at Broadway’s Studio 54.

Based on the novel by Émile Zola and penned by Helen Edmundson, a quiet young woman with a restless spirit, Thérèse (Knightley) submits to a loveless life at the side of her weak and selfish husband Camille (Ebert) and her controlling mother-in-law Madame Raquin (Light)…until she meets his childhood friend Laurent (Ryan). When their overwhelming passion spins violently out of control, they realize that love can be a dangerous game, and sometimes there is no winner.

Ebert won the Tony for Matilda; he has also been seen on Broadway in Casa Valentina and Brief Encounter. Light won Tonys for her performances in Other Desert Cities and The Assembled Parties; she is also a two-time Emmy winner for One Life to Live. Ryan made his Broadway debut in 2009's Hamlet. He became a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2004; his screen credits include the title role of NBC’s Constantine.

The production will feature sets by Beowulf Boritt, costumes by Jane Greenwood, lighting by Keith Parham and sound by Josh Schmidt.
