Jill Clayburgh

Jill Clayburgh, the Academy Award-nominated actress who appeared on Broadway in The Rothschilds, Pippin, and Design for Living, will join Academy Award-winning actor Richard Drefuss in the Westport Country Playhouse production of Arthur Miller's All My Sons this summer.

Doug Hughes, who directed Westport's Outward Bound last season, will direct All My Sons, the story of a family whose member discover that the eldest son may have been a victim of his father's wartime profiteering. Additional casting for the production is yet to be announced.

Clayburgh is well known for her work in Search for Tomorrow, The Thief Who Came to Dinner, An Unmarried Woman, Starting Over, and other film and TV projects. She recently starred in the world premiere of Israel Horovitz's Speaking Well of the Dead at the Gloucester Stage Company. Dreyfuss won an Academy Award for his performance in The Goodbye Girl; his Broadway credits include Death and the Maiden and Total Abandon. The two actors recently appeared together Off-Broadway in The Exonerated.

All My Sons is scheduled to run August 6-August 23. For more information about season subscriptions or individual tickets, call 203-227-4177 or visit www.westportplayhouse.org.
