Signature Theater Extends Tony Kushner’s The Illusion Through July 17

Signature Theatre Company’s production of Tony Kushner’s The Illusion has been extended until July 17. Michael Mayer directs the production, which opens officially on June 5.

In the play, a lawyer, facing mortality, desperate to find the son he drove away years before, travels in the dead of night to a mysterious cave. There he engages the services of a wizard, who conjures up visions of the romantic, adventurous, perilous life the lawyer’s son has been living since his father expelled him from home. The play is freely adapted from Pierre Corneille’s L’Illusion Comique.

Peter Bartlett, Sean Dugan, David Margulies, Amanda Quaid, Lois Smith, Henry Stram, Merritt Wever, and Finn Wittrock star in the show.

The production features scenic design by Christine Jones, costume design by Susan Hilferty, lighting design by Kevin Adams, sound design by Bray Poor and fight direction by Rick Sordelet.
