Wilson Milam to Direct David Hay’s A Perfect Future at Cherry Lane in February

Tony nominee Wilson Milam will direct the world premiere of David Hay’s A Perfect Future, to begin performances Off-Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theater, beginning February 4. Casting will be announced at a later date.

Set in 2005, the action takes place in the apartment of two well heeled New Yorkers, Natalie and John, who are hosting a dinner for Elliot, a friend from their days as college radicals. Also invited to the party is Mark, a straight-laced young man from John’s risk management firm. Over the course of a raucous evening filled with wine and merriment, their basic belief systems are upended, as the four must come to terms with each other’s true politics and behavior.

Hay’s prior credits include the play The Maddening Truth, which was produced Off-Broadway by the Keen Company. Milam received a Tony nomination for his direction of Martin McDonough’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
