Southern Comforts

Some people need continuous change in order to feel vital and alive. Others are terrified of unsettling the peace that they have established. Kathleen Clark’s play, Southern Comforts, takes a widow and widower and provides them with the opportunity to meet later in life and find a way into each other’s hearts.

Penny Fuller and William Biff McGuire, the show’s leading actors, perform excerpts in a sneak preview and discuss their creative process along with Ms. Clark, Judith Ivey (the director) and Andrew Leynse (Primary Stages’ artistic director). Anna Becker, The Playhouse’s theater consultant, moderates the Q&A after the presentation; a reception with the artists follows.
