Festen to Close at Music Box Theatre on May 20
Festen will play its final Broadway performance on May 20 at the Music Box Theatre. The drama will have played 20 preview and 49 regular performances at the time of its closing.
Based on the film of the same name, Festen centers around a beloved patriarch, his family and a host of friends, celebrating his 60th birthday at his country home. This promises to be a very special occasion, but as the evening progresses, the man's eldest son, Christian, feels compelled to break the silence surrounding a family secret. Standing to propose a toast, he offers his father—much to the delight of the guests—an amusing yet simple choice. And so the games begin. Revelations and accusations tumble across the dinner table, paving the way for a celebration that no one will ever forget.
