Mark Setlock Stars in Vineyard Theatre's FULLY COMMITTED Reading, 11/12

THE DYING GAUL by Craig Lucas
Winter 2013
This darkly comic and haunting play premiered at the Vineyard in 1998, the story of a grieving screenwriter who enters into a relationship with a film producer and his wife, to chilling results. Dealing with AIDS, art, the internet and Hollywood, The Dying Gaul was hailed by many critics as the one of the best plays of the year and returned to The Vineyard the following fall for a sold out limited engagement. It was subsequently made into a film.

The Vineyard's 30th season Mainstage productions include the current production of the world-premiere of Douglas McGrath's CHECKERS, directed by Terry Kinney and starring Anthony LaPaglia and Kathryn Erbe; THE NORTH POOL by 2008 Paula Vogel Award-winner and Pulitzer Prize-finalist for Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, Rajiv Joseph, directed by Giovanna Sardelli; and the world-premiere of Jenny Schwartz' SOMEWHERE FUN, directed by Anne Kauffman, who also directed Ms. Schwartz' God's Ear at The Vineyard.
