ADAPTED BY RICHARD GREENBERG
BASED ON THE PLAY BY PHILIP BARRY
DIRECTED BY ROBERT FALLS

Jan 31 – Mar 1, 2026 in Goodman's Albert Theatre
The 1920s Romantic Comedy Soars to New Life.
From Tony Award winner Richard Greenberg comes a sparkling contemporary adaptation of Philip Barry’s classic play that inspired the beloved 1930s film starring Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. In the wealthy world of the Upper East Side Setons, matters of the heart are a family affair. Enter a romantic prospect from a decidedly different background—and privilege, class and personal fulfillment are thrown into sharp relief. Robert Falls directs this fresh new take on the eternal question: work to live or live to work?
