Full casting has now been announced for L.A. Theatre Works’ presentation of The Graduate, to perform at the Skirball Cultural Center, December 8-12. John Rubinstein will direct the performances, which will be audio-recorded for future radio broadcast.

As previously reported, Kathleen Turner and Matthew Rhys will reprise the roles they created (as Mrs. Robinson and Benjamin Braddock) in the original West End production. Also in the cast are Bruce Davison (Mr. Braddock), John Getz (Mr. Robinson), Lucy Punch (Elaine), Linda Purl (Mrs. Braddock) and Tom Virtue (multiple roles).


This coming-of-age story is about an innocent college grad who is seduced by an older woman. It is based upon the novel and film of the same name, and adapted for the stage by Terry Johnson.
