Full casting has been announced for the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of Tennessee Williams’ The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore, to be presented at the Laura Pels Theatre, January 7-April 3, with an opening on January 30. Michael Wilson will direct.

As previously reported, Oscar winner Olympia Dukakis will star in the production. She plays Flora Goforth, a dying American widow who has detached from the world in order to write her memoirs, and who is visited by a handsome and mysterious young man.

The cast will also include Curtis Billings (Giulio), Elisa Bocanegra (Simonetta), Edward Hibbert (Witch of Capri), Maggie Lacey (Frances Black), and Darren Pettie (Christopher Flanders).

The design team will include Jeff Cowie (sets), David C. Woolard (costumes), Rui Rita (lights) and John Gromada (original music & sound).

This production premiered May 2008 at Hartford Stage, directed by Wilson and was the culmination of the director’s ten-year project on the work of Tennessee Williams. The Roundabout presentation is being presented in conjunction with Tennessee Williams’ centennial celebration.
