Jenkins and Stanton’s Love Child Added to Primary Stages Season

Primary Stages will present the New York premiere of Love Child, written and performed by Daniel Jenkins and Robert Stanton, as part of its 2008-2009 season. The play will run in repertory with Lee Blessing’s A Body of Water, October 12-November 19, with an opening set for October 26.

Real and theatrical worlds collide in this new comedy about the night a classic play spoke so loudly to its audience that its audience felt compelled to talk back.

Primary Stages season will begin with A.R. Gurney’s Buffalo Gal (July 22-August 30), directed by Mark Lamos and featuring Mark Blum, Carmen M. Herlihy, Jennifer Regan, Susan Sullivan, James Waterston, and Dathan B. Williams. In addition to A Body of Water (September 30-November 9), the season will include Shipwrecked! An Entertainment — The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (As Told By Himself) by Donald Margulies (January 27-March 7), and Chasing Manet by Tina Howe (March 24-May 2), featuring Tony Award-Winner Jane Alexander.
