Desperate Housewives' Mark Moses Joins Cast of Off-Broadway's Burleigh Grime$
Moses can currently be seen on the small screen playing the sinister Paul Young on Desperate Housewives. His theatrical credits include Slab Boys on Broadway and an off-Broadway mounting of Love's Labor's Lost. Earlier this year he was featured on the silver screen in Big Momma's House 2.
Set in a world where no bad deed goes unrewarded, Burleigh Grime$ examines the force of capitalism in America. At the beginnings of his Wall Street career, George Radbourn Dale, a New England blue-blood, is too self-satisfied to recognize that his mentor, Burleigh Grimes Moses, may not be entirely sincere in appearance or agenda. A driven and hard-driving stock market powerhouse, Grimes is a man of infinite calculation and relentless purpose, further assisted in his financial schemes by media maven Elizabeth Bigley Malick. In an arena where the naïve and sentimental face ruin, George struggles for survival under the manipulative hand of Grimes' flexible business tactics, while also dealing with the arrival of his college sweetheart, Grace Redding Williams, who will soon have to face some difficult choices of her own.
Roger Kirby's Burleigh Grime$, directed by David Warren, is scheduled to begin performances at New World Stages on May 23 in preparation for a June 13 opening.
