The Directors Company, in association with Pascal Productions, will present the world premiere of Wendy Beckett's A Better Place at the Duke on 42nd Street. The new play will run May 4-June 12 under the direction of Evan Bergman.

A Better Place follows a gay couple as they lust over the apartment owned by their neighbors. As they refuse to tear themselves away from the window, they wonder how the people across the street attained that level of wealth.

The cast of A Better Place includes Jessica DiGiovanni, John FitzGibbon, Judith Hawking, Edward James Hyland, Rob Maitner, and Michael Satow. The creative team includes David Arsenault (scenic design), Russell H. Champa (lighting design), Valerie Marcus Ramshur (costume design), and Sam Kunetz (sound design).
