Baryshnikov Arts in partnership with the Abbey Theatre well present a
reading of Sam Shepard鈥檚&苍产蝉辫;Ages of the Moon January 24鈥�25, 2025, at 7 PM at Baryshnikov Arts on West 37th Street.
The readings, which will celebrate the beginning of Baryshnikov Arts鈥� 20th anniversary, will co-star Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos) and Aidan Quinn (An Early Frost, A Streetcar Named Desire). Abbey Theatre Artistic Director Caitr铆ona McLaughlin will direct.
Ages of the Moon, originally commissioned by the Abbey Theatre, is Shepard鈥檚 2009 tale of two old friends reunited by their late-life loneliness. This iteration debuted in October as part of the Abbey Theatre鈥檚 鈥淟ove at First Sight鈥� play reading series.
"One of the most thrilling theatre experiences I have ever had was hearing Phillip Seymour Hoffman read a new play for the first time,鈥� said director McLaughlin in a statement. 鈥淭he experience was electric, he grew the character slowly and if he didn鈥檛 land a line, he repeated it until he got it right. I鈥檝e never forgotten it. The idea for 'Love at First Sight' at the Abbey Theatre came from an impulse to recreate that experience for our audience.鈥�
