Greenberg’s American Plan Set for Autumn???
Date: 19 July 2005
American playwright
Richard Greenberg, who’s had success in London with
Three Days of Rain and
Take Me Out (both at the Donmar Warehouse), is tipped to have his 1990 play dissecting the US upper class,
An American Plan, staged in the West End this autumn. Set on the shore of a lake in the summer of 1960, Lili Adler, the troubled 20-year-old daughter of a wealthy German-Jewish refugee, meets golden young man Nick Lockridge, but their blossoming romance does not meet with the approval of Lili’s autocratic mother. The London premiere production will be directed by
David Grindley, whose revival of
What the Butler Saw opens at Hampstead Theatre this week. Grindley is currently represented in the West End by Neil LaBute’s
Some Girls, headed by
Friends’
David Schwimmer and produced by Out of the Blue, which is also backing
An American Plan. Whatsonstage.com hears that another big-name Hollywood name is in advanced talks to take on the role of Nick in the Greenberg play.
