The fall schedule also features veteran experimental collective the Wooster Group, which will reinterpret “Hamlet.” Tarell Alvin McCraney’s “The Brothers Size,” directed by Tea Alagic will receive a full production following its premiere at the 2007 Under the Radar Festival.
In the winter, Tony Award-winner Richard Nelson’s play “Conversations in Tusculum” will feature Brian Dennehy, David Strathairn, and Maria Tucci. And Philip Seymour Hoffman will direct the world premiere of Stephen Adly Guirgis’s “Little Flower of East Orange.”
