Tony-Nominated The Father, Starring Frank Langella, Extends on Broadway

The Tony-nominated play The Father has extended on Broadway through June 19; the American premiere of Florian Zeller's work had previously been set to shutter on June 12. Led by 2016 Tony nominee and three-time Tony winner Frank Langella, the translation by two-time Tony and Oscar winner Christopher Hampton is directed by Tony winner Doug Hughes.

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 also includes Kathryn Erbe, Brian Avers, Charles Borland, Kathleen McNenny and Hannah Cabell.

The Father officially opened on April 14 and is playing at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
