A timeless exploration of politics, religion and power, ROBERT BOLT's classic drama is based on the fascinating true story of English Chancellor Sir Thomas More and his moral objection to King Henry VIII's plan to leave the Catholic church. This production, directed by the wonderful DOUG HUGHES, marks the play's return to Broadway.

STREAMERS
By DAVID RABE
Directed by SCOTT ELLIS

This award-winning drama, set in a US Army barracks in 1965, centers around a group of four American soldiers from very different backgrounds, all on their way to serve in Vietnam. A poignant and thought-provoking look at war, friendship, identity, and politics.

Tony® and Emmy Award-winner Cynthia Nixon stars in this powerful New York premiere. In Distracted, a contemporary American mom reaches out to teachers, psychotherapists, and neighbors to figure out if Attention Deficit Disorder is the root of her son's problems.
