Tony Award winner Bill Irwin will be the featured guest at Villanova Theatre's Speaker's Night discussion following the November 20 performance of George Feydeau's farce, Le Dindon (An Absolute Turkey).

Irwin is well known for his skill as a clown and comic actor, and has experience with farce in general and with Feydeau in particular: In 1998, he directed the French playwright's A Flea in Her Ear for New York City's Roundabout Theatre.

The performer won a Tony for his last Broadway appearance in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. His other Broadway credits include The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?, Accidental Death of an Anarchist, and Fool Moon. He is set to co-star with Nathan Lane in a Broadway production of Waiting for Godot in the spring.

Speaker's Night conversations are open to the public, but seating is only guaranteed to patrons who have seen that night's performance. For more information, visit www.theatre.villanova.org.
