Irish Repertory Theatre's production of Nancy Harris' The Beacon, which officially opened September 22 following previews that began September 11, has extended its limited engagement.
Directed by Marc Atkinson Borrull, the Ireland-set play was originally scheduled through November 3 on the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage. Performances will now continue an additional three weeks through November 24. Read reviews for Harris' play by clicking here.
Stage and screen star Kate Mulgrew (Orange Is the New Black, Equus, Ryan's Hope, Star Trek: Voyager, Tea at Five) heads the cast as Beiv,
a renowned artist who has left her suburban Dublin home for a cottage
off the coast of West Cork. Her relative peace is disrupted
when her
estranged son, Colm, returns home with his new wife, searching for
answers about his father’s mysterious death.
Mulgrew is joined by Zach Appelman (War Horse) as Colm, Sean Bell (Harmony) as Donal, David Mattar Merten (An Enemy of the People) as Ray, and Ayana Workman (Rustin) as Bonnie.
The production also features set design by Colm McNally, costume design by Orla Long, lighting design by McNally, sound design by Liam Bellman-Sharpe, and properties by Nicole Rozanski.
Pam Brusoski is the production stage manager, Karen Evanouskas is the assistant stage manager, Jane Guyer Fujita is the dialect coach, and Rick Sordelet is the fight director. Casting is by Geoff Josselson.
