Jonathan Silverstein will now direct the Old Globe Theatre’s production of Ayub Khan-Din’s Olivier Award-winning comedy, Rafta, Rafta…, March 19-April 24. Henry Wishcamper, who was previously announced to helm that production, will instead direct the theater’s staging of John Morogiello’s comedy, Engaging Shaw, July 29-September 4.
Rafta, Rafta… takes a humorous look at the generational divide on sex and marriage within a close-knit Indian family living in London. Silverstein received a Drama Desk nomination for his direction of The Dining Room, and recent New York credits include the world premiere of The Temperamentals Off-Broadway.
Engaging Shaw follows the battle of wits and the real life romance between socialite Charlotte Payne-Townsend and playwright George Bernard Shaw. Wishcamper’s recent Off-Broadway directing credist include Spirit Control, Graceland, and Port Authority.
