Glenn Close's return to Broadway!

Three-time Tony winner Glenn Close stars opposite John Lithgow in a revival of Edward Albee's moving family drama about an upper middle-class couple whose relationship - and personal capacity for empathy - is put to the test over the course of one weekend when their empty nest syndrome is suddenly (and quite brutally) reversed. Glenn Close was last seen on a Broadway stage back in 1995 when she performed in Sunset Boulevard, a performance which won her a Tony Award.

The dark comedy - which won Edward Albee a Pulitzer Prize for Drama - will enjoy a strictly limited run at the Golden Theatre, and feature Tony-winning director Pam MacKinnon (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) at the helm. The production also marks producer Scott Rudin's second blockbuster this season, after his sell-out production of A Raisin in the Sun, which starred Denzel Washington.

What is A Delicate Balance About?

Agnes (Close) and Tobias (Lithgow) are a married couple who struggle to maintain their equilibrium when they open up their home to friends and family in need, including their daughter whose fourth marriage has just ended, as well as Agnes' alcoholic sister.
