This production is part of Roundabout’s 50th Anniversary season. Thérèse Raquin officially opens tomorrow, Thursday, October 29, 2015 on Broadway at Studio 54 in a limited engagement through January 3, 2016. Helen Edmundson’s new adaptation of Thérèse Raquin was commissioned by Roundabout Theatre Company. A quiet young woman with a restless spirit, Thérèse (Knightley) submits to a loveless life at the side of her weak and selfish husband played by Tony Award winner Gabriel Ebert and her controlling mother-in-law, played by two-time Tony Award winner Judith Light until she meets his childhood friend Laurent played by Matt Ryan. When their overwhelming passion spins violently out of control, they realize that love can be a dangerous game, and sometimes there is no winner. Based on the novel by Émile Zola, Thérèse Raquin by Helen Edmundson is a tale of love, lust, betrayal and guilt that will leave you breathless. The design team includes Beowulf Boritt (Sets), Jane Greenwood (Costumes), Keith Parham (Lighting), and Josh Schmidt (Sound), Tom Watson (Hair and Wigs), J. David Brimmer (Fight Director).
