Bickell, Donahoe, King, Scott-Reed, et al. Set for Deathbed

Ross Bickell, Charlotte Booker, Emily Donahoe, Clifton Guterman, Ryan King, Brandon Miller, Patricia Randell, Christa Scott-Reed, and Jonathan Walker will star in the world premiere of Mark Schultz’ Deathbed, to play the McGinn/Cazale Theatre, January 21-March 1. The production, which will open officially on January 31, will be directed by Wendy C. Goldberg.

Deathbed paints a landscape of longing and desperation as its characters struggle to come to terms with loss and suffering. Martha has cancer and demands attention; Danny doesn’t want to deal; Thomas would rather forget; Steven loves too much; Susan feels betrayed; Martin is confused; and Ian wants to know what death is really like.

The creative team includes Alexander Dodge (sets), Anne Kennedy (costumes), Josh Epstein (lighting), and Ryan Rumery (sound). Goldberg is the artistic director of the Eugene O’Neill Playwriting Conference.
