About This Show

Primary Stages presents the New York premiere of A.R. Gurney’s Buffalo Gal, directed by Mark Lamos.

The comedy centers around Amanda, a once successful television personality whose star is now fading. Life imitates art as she returns to her hometown of Buffalo to star in Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. Just as she is connecting with her roots — both on stage and off — she is called back to Hollywood for a role that could recharge her career. Will her love of theater be enough to keep her in Buffalo?

A. R. Gurney’s perfectly pleasant comedy about a fading Hollywood star’s return to her hometown’s local theater lacks bite.
