Overview
- The casting, announced Thursday, puts John Turturro as Bérenger, Paul Giamatti as Jean, and Tatiana Maslany as Daisy for an Aug. 12–Sept. 20 run at the Loeb Drama Center, with opening night on Aug. 19.
- All three make their A.R.T. debuts as Tony winner Diane Paulus directs an adaptation based on Derek Prouse’s translation of Eugène Ionesco’s play.
- The production serves as Paulus’s last show at the Loeb before the company relocates to its new home in Allston, the Goel Center for Creativity & Performance.
- Individual tickets go on sale June 25, with subscription and supporter pre-sales opening earlier through A.R.T.
- Industry coverage notes that the starry casting has prompted speculation about a possible New York transfer, though no move has been announced.
