Becky Shaw
is a 2008 play written by Gina Gionfriddo.
The play had its world premiere at the 2008 Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville, Kentucky. The play was commissioned by the Actors Theatre of Louisville [1] after the success of Gionfriddo's last play, After Ashley
, at the 2004 Humana Festival.
After the play opened to critical acclaim at the Humana Festival, it was soon announced that Second Stage Theatre would play host to its New York debut in the winter of 2008-09. Performances began at Second Stage on December 16, 2008, with a scheduled opening of January 8, 2009. The New York production sees the return of director Peter DuBois along with original cast members Annie Parisse (title role) and David Wilson Barnes. Emily Bergl, Kelly Bishop (A Chorus Line, Gilmore Girls) and Thomas Sadoski round out the New York cast. Due to positive reception and strong box office numbers, performances have been extended through March 15, 2009.
Kelly Bishop was cast as Susan, a woman with MS who hooks up with a man much younger than herself, and quite disreputable. Susan, a domineering woman, also has quite a dysfunctional relationship with her daughter Suzanna (Emily Bergl) in the play. [2]
