The Vertical Hour, With Julianne Moore, Heads to the Music Box

David Hare's The Vertical Hour, starring Julianne Moore, has found its Broadway home, according to The New York Times. The production, directed by Sam Mendes, will open at the Music Box Theatre on November 30.

The Vertical Hour centers on Nadia Blye Moore, a young American war correspondent turned academic who now teaches Political Studies at Yale. A brief holiday with her boyfriend in the Welsh borders brings her into contact with a kind of Englishman whose culture and beliefs are a surprise and a challenge, both to her and to her relationship. It will be the first time in Hare's career that one of his plays will have a world premiere in the U.S.

The Music Box was recently home to Festen, which closed on May 14.
