The New York debut of Edward Albee’s “Peter and Jerry” will mark the start of the Second Stage Theater’s 2007–08 season, the theater’s administration announced yesterday. The play is an expanded take on Mr. Albee’s 1958 Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning play “The Zoo Story,” featuring a new first act, titled “Homelife.” Actors Bill Pullman, Johanna Day, and Dallas Roberts will star in the work, to be directed by Pam MacKinnon.
Other works planned for the theater’s upcoming season include “Next to Normal,” a new musical directed by Michael Grief, who is currently directing the Public Theater’s production of “Romeo and Juliet” as part of Shakespeare in the Park. The dark political comedy “Farragut North,” written by a former campaign staffer to Senator Clinton, Beau Willimon, and Richard Nelson’s “Some Americans Abroad” will round out the season.
