Dylan Baker Joins Nathan Lane in Mamet's November

Dylan Baker will join previously announced stars Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf in the Broadway production of David Mamet's November. The play, directed by Joe Mantello, begins previews on December 20 at the Barrymore Theatre and will open on January 17, 2008.

Described as a comedy, November chronicles the chaotic days preceding an election from the viewpoint of incumbent U.S. President Charles Smith Lane. The play touches on civil marriages, gambling casinos, lesbians, American Indians, presidential libraries, questionable pardons and campaign contributions. Baker plays presidential adviser Arthur Brown, and Metcalf portrays an aide.

Baker is currently appearing on Broadway in Manhattan Theatre Club's production of Theresa Rebeck's Mauritius. He was nominated for a Tony Award for La Bete and appeared on Broadway in Eastern Standard. Off-Broadway, he has appeared in Sea of Tranquility, Homebody/Kabul, What the Butler Saw, The Torchbearers, Tartuffe, That Championship Season, Pride's Crossing and many more. His screen credits range from the acclaimed independent film Happiness to the Spider-Man movies, in which he plays Doctor Curt Connors.

The creative team for November will include sets by Scott Pask, lighting by Paul Gallo, and costumes by Laura Bauer.
