MANHATTAN THEATRE CLUB’S
EQUIVOCATION
OPENS TO ACCLAIM FROM CRITICS

Manhattan Theatre Club’s production of EQUIVOCATION by Bill Cain, (former artistic director of Boston Shakespeare Company), directed by Tony Award winner Garry Hynes (Translations, Beauty Queen of Leenane) opened Tuesday night to critical acclaim.

The production features Remy Auberjonois (The Country Girl, Frost/Nixon), Michael Countryman (Mary Stuart, MTC’s House and Garden), David Furr (MTC’s Accent on Youth, Cymbeline), John Pankow (Twelve Angry Men, “Mad About You”), Charlotte Parry (Coram Boy, The Real Thing), and David Pittu (What’s That Smell?, Tony nominee for MTC’s LoveMusik) and plays at MTC at New York City Center – Stage I (131 West 55th Street).

Below is a sampling from some of the reviews:

“Enjoyable entertainment. Bill Cain brings a scholarly dedication and an impish humor to his portrait of history’s most famous playwright at work. Under gifted Tony winner Garry Hynes’ incisive direction the production moves fluidly.”
– Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

“Bill Cain’s dazzling drama has considerable pleasures. This stringently lucid and technically pristine production of this witty play goes scene by striking scene.”
– Marilyn Stasio, Variety

“FOUR STARS! Triply impressive – Smart, funny and literary. Bill Cain’s tasty two-act hybrid of history and imagination recalls Shakespeare in Love. This MTC production has taut direction and top-flight actors.”
– Joe Dziemianowicz, The Daily News

"Fascinating and very funny! EQUIVOCATION is a comedy, full of theatre jokes and Shakespeare jokes, but more than anything, it is an intriguing and powerful meditation on language and the uses and misuses of it."
– Jesse Oxford, The New York Observer

“Politically unsettling, judicially provocative and theatrically entertaining. The six good actors are commendable.”
– John Simon, Bloomberg News

"An adventurous and entertaining play with lots of laughs and a jaunty spirit. Reminiscent of Shakespeare in Love, EQUIVOCATION is rich and interesting theater."
– Robert Feldberg, The Record
