Another Tony-nominated Broadway production, presented by Lincoln Center Theatre and directed by Daniel Sullivan in 2002, featured Elizabeth Franz, Julie Hagerty, Buck Henry, Piper Laurie, Christopher Lloyd, Estelle Parsons and Frances Sternhagen. Throughout its history, Morning's At Seven has been showered with critical praise. Among the countless raves for the play , Ben Brantley of The New York Times hailed "Morning's At Seven surprises Manhattan theatergoers every time it comes around. It's rare that a Broadway comedy seduces by stealth. The discreet miracle of Mr. Osborn's writing is in the shadows he weaves into the sunniest exchanges." In his Variety review, Charles Isherwood wrote "the play's pleasures are durable ones, and it affords a cast of veterans a chance to display their gifts. Osborn's writing is infused with clear-sighted but sympathetic wisdom." Terry Teachout of The Wall Street Journal calls Morning's At Seven "a great American play that ought to be far better known." Morning's At Seven will play 12-week engagement, October 20 - January 9 at Theatre at St. Clements, 423 W. 46th Street, NYC). Opening night is November 4.
