Brian Murray, Kate Baldwin, Simon Jones, and Lenny Wolpe will headline the Project Shaw reading of Shaw’s The Doctor’s Dilemma, to be held at 7pm on Monday, March 19 at the Players Club (16 Gramercy Park South).
The cast will also feature Patricia Conolly, Brent Harris, Timothy Jerome, Howard Kissel, Malachy McCourt, Sarah Moon, Charlotte Moore, Mark Saturno, Michael Schulman, and Michael Tisdale. New York Magazine theater critic Jeremy McCarter will host the event.
Shaw’s play concerns a woman who so idolizes her artist husband, who’s dying of tuberculosis, that she convinces a busy doctor to save him. However, when the doctor and his colleagues meet the man, they discover is he is a money-grubbing, adulterous scoundrel and must reconsider their decision.
Project Shaw‘s next offering will be Androcles and the Lion on Monday, April 23, starring Seth Rudetsky and Bruce Vilanch in the title roles, and featuring a cast made up of New York theater writers, including Charles Isherwood, Roma Torre, Michael Riedel, David Cote, Michael Musto, Rex Reed, and Michael Kuchwara.
