Frank Langella
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS
by Robert Bolt
directed by Doug Hughes
This legendary drama is based on the fascinating, true story of English Chancellor Sir Thomas More (played by multiple Tony®-winner Frank Langella) and his moral objection to King Henry VIII's plan to leave the Catholic Church. When he is forced to decide whether to support or denounce the king, More chooses to take the most provocative action of all -- to remain silent. An enduring exploration of politics, religion and power, A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS is a moving story about one man's fight for his beliefs and the price he must pay for his convictions.

HEDDA GABLER
by Henrik Ibsen
A woman of dangerous independence restrained by a conventional marriage, Hedda Gabler indulges in a cruel game, amusing herself with the misfortune she inflicts on those around her. Cutting and deliciously deceptive, Hedda struggles to balance her wild desires against the presentable life she's chosen for herself, but instead sets into motion a manic chain of events. A new interpretation of Henrik Ibsen's modern classic, Hedda Gabler is surprising, scandalous and subversive.
