WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
At the height of the Great Depression, ruthless financier Gregor Antonescu's (Frank Langella) business is dangerously close to crumbling. In order to escape the wolves at his door, Gregor tracks down his estranged son Basil in the hopes of using his Greenwich Village apartment as a base to make a company-saving deal. Can this reunion help them reconcile? Or will this corrupt father use his only son as a pawn in one last power play? Man and Boy is a gripping story about family, success and what we're willing to sacrifice for both.

Man and Boy, currently getting a seriously droll revival at the Roundabout Theatre Company starring the astonishing Frank Langella as the corrupt international financial mogul Gregor Antonescu, was first introduced, the play racked up relatively few performances in either London or New York.
Today, the work not only looks refreshed in Maria Aitken's production, it could barely be more relevant in a world of financial corruption where Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff and his family have become emblems of wrongdoing
As the play begins, we meet angry young English expatriate Basil Anthony (Adam Driver) -- whom we soon[...]
