Kathleen McNenny to Replace Liz Wisan in The Father, Starring Frank Langella, on Broadway

A Broadway switcheroo right before the first preview. Kathleen McNenny (Enemy of the People) will replace the previously announced Liz Wisan in the role of Woman in the American premiere of Florian Zeller's The Father.

Led by three-time Tony winner and Oscar nominee Frank Langella, the translation by two-time Tony and Oscar winner Christopher Hampton is set to be directed by Tony winner Doug Hughes. The limited engagement will begin previews on March 22 and officially open on April 14 at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

The Father looks inside the mind of Andre (Langella), a retired dancer living with his adult daughter Anne and her husband. Or is he a retired engineer receiving a visit from Anne who has moved away with her boyfriend? Why do strangers keep turning up in his room? And where has he left his watch?

The cast will also include Kathryn Erbe, Brian Avers, Charles Borland and Hannah Cabell.
