WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Tony Award-winner Brent Carver heads the cast in the world premiere of Richard Nelson and Ricky Ian Gordon's new musical, My Life With Albertine. Based on the "Albertine" sections of Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, the show is about the complicated and obsessive relationship between a young man of Society and a fiery, middle-classs girl. The cast, directed by Nelson, also includes Emily Skinner, Amy Spanger, Chad Kimball, Kelli O'Hara, and more.

This production inaugurates Playwrights Horizons' eagerly-anticipated new $27 milliion complex.
