Alan Ball's All That on the New York Stage
He won an Oscar
for American Beauty and made us all love morticians with Six
Feet Under, but now gay writer Alan Ball is heading back to
his roots with a new play.
All That I Will Ever Be, an L.A. story viewed through the eyes of
a Southern California native and a Middle Eastern immigrant, will have
its world premiere in January 2007 at the New York Theatre Workshop.
Peter Macdissi - who played horny bisexual art professor Olivier
on SFU - plays the latter, and the cast will also include
character actor Stuart Margolin (The Rockford Files) and
stage vets Austin Lysy and Patch Darragh, under the
direction of Jo Bonney, whose revival of Eric Bogosian's
subUrbia is currently one of New York's hottest tickets.
