New York City
In 1967 Edward Albee’s Everything in the Garden premiered to critical success in New York City. Forty years later, though it is rarely produced, its characters and themes have even more relevance to our lives today. Richard and Jenny struggle, as most of us do, to maintain their quality of life. When Mrs. Toothe brings Jenny an alternative solution to her financial strife, the story turns from suburban to subjection. Albee’s alternately humorous and savage play attacks the hypocrisies of middle-class standing even as it forces us to admit that we all have a part to play in the garden.
Broadway’s Patrick Ryan Sullivan will play “Richard.”
