Stockard Channing, Hugh Dancy, and Cast of Apologia Meet the Press

Stockard Channing, Hugh Dancy, and the cast of Alexi Kaye Campbell's Apologia met the press at their rehearsal studio on September 5. Directed by Daniel Aukin, the Roundabout Theatre Company production will begin performances September 27 ahead of an October 16 opening at the Laura Pels Theatre.

Channing takes on the role of Kristin, which she played during the drama's 2017 West End production last summer. Dancy plays Peter, with Megalyn Echikunwoke as Claire, Talene Monahon as Trudi, and John Tillinger as Hugh.

Apologia is described as follows: "You do not mess with Kristin Miller (Channing). In the 1960s, she was a radical activist and political protester. Now a celebrated art historian, the publication of her memoir threatens to split her family apart. But Kristin has never been one to shy away from a fight. Apologia is a passionate, human, and humorous clash of generations and beliefs — a lively look at yesterday's rebels living in today's reality."

The creative team includes Dane Laffrey (scenic design), Anita Yavich (costume design), Bradley King (lighting design), Ryan Rumery (original compositions and sound design), and Ben Furey (dialect coach).
