Due to high ticket demand, the Atlantic Theater Company's production of The Voysey Inheritance has announced a second extension of three weeks, through February 10, 2007. The limited engagement of David Mamet's adaptation of the Harley Granville Barker play was originally scheduled to close on January 7, but after strong reviews, it extended through January 21. The Voysey Inheritance began previews on November 15 and opened on December 6 at the Atlantic.
The Voysey Inheritance explores the timely issue of morals vs. money as an upper middle class family goes to pieces when it is revealed that the patriarch Fritz Weaver has amassed the family fortune by secretly embezzling money from his clients. As his son Michael Stuhlbarg tries to put things in order, he discovers that the family is more than willing to perpetuate this way of doing business, rather than sacrifice their comfort and luxury.
The off-Broadway production of The Voysey Inheritance features Tony Award nominee Stuhlbarg The Pillowman, Tony winner Weaver Child's Play, Atlantic Company members Steven Goldstein Romance and Todd Weeks The Full Monty, along with Rachel Black Necessary Targets, Christopher Duva The Elephant Man, Peter Maloney Celebration and The Room, Katharine Powell The Water's Edge, Judith Roberts Present Laughter, Geddeth Smith Waiting In the Wings, Samantha SouleDinner at Eight and CJ Wilson Festen. It was directed by David Warren.
