The Wild Duck

Theatre for a New Audience presents Henrik Ibsen's 1884 social drama, which, like Chekhov's The Seagull, investigates the links among family discord, suicidal young people and symbolic waterfowl. Simon Godwin—of Washington D.C.'s Shakespeare Theatre Company, which is coproducing the show—directs the first Off Broadway revival of the show to employ David Eldridge's new adaptation of the script. Leading the cast are Robert Stanton, Alex Hurt, Nick Westrate, Melanie Field, Maaike Laanstra-Corn and David Patrick Kelly.
