Patch Darragh, Stephen James King, Adriane Lenox, Stuart Margolin, Margo Martindale, Jan Maxwell, Conan McCarty, Hubert Point-Du Jour, Michael Potts, Carrie Preston, Tim Robbins, Charles Turner, and Kerry Washington will star in a free reading of Gore Vidal’s play Weekend at 7pm on Monday, November 3 at New York Theatre Workshop. The reading will be directed by Leigh Silverman.

The play is set in 1968 and the Republican Party is in a struggle for its conscience. Republican Senator Charles MacGruder is preparing to announce his candidacy for president and make a bold statement against the Vietnam War, when his son arrives for the weekend with shocking and potentially career-ending news.
