In Eric Coble’s play, Parsons plays a sweet old lady — with a Molotov cocktail behind her back.
Eric Coble's The Velocity of Autumn, starring four-time Tony nominee Estelle Parsons and two-time Tony winner Stephen Spinella, will begin previews at Broadway's Booth Theatre on April 1, with an opening night set for April 21. In anticipation of getting the new play onstage, the production has released its first TV spot, which features Parsons kicking down walls and issuing dares — just your typical mom.
