Theater: Belasco Theatre / 111 West 44th Street, New York, NY, 10036
The Retreat from Moscow, a new play by William Nicholson, is the compelling story of a man, a woman, and a marriage that should have lasted. One weekend, he abruptly walks out, destroying her world and leaving their only son to put the pieces together and to decipher right from wrong. The play stars Olivier Award winner Eileen Atkins, two-time Tony Award winner John Lithgow, and Ben Chaplin. Daniel Sullivan directs.
