KINSHIP

by Carey Perloff

WORLD PREMIERE

Theatre de la Ville, Paris in 2012

Starring Isabelle Adjani

"There is something amazingly fortuitious about KINSHIP having its world premiere in France and in French, since it uses as its springboard the passions of Racine's Phedre. I am deeply honored that this magnificent group of artists has committed to giving my play such a powerful first production..."

and other primal instincts."

–– THE BOSTON GLOBE

"In the 2015 American premier of KINSHIP at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award-Winner Cynthia Nixon and Emmy Award-winner Penny Fuller made their Festival debuts in Carey Perloff’s gripping and sexy new drama.  The tightly wound lives of a fiery newspaper editor (Nixon), an upstart journalist (Lowell), and his overly-protective mother (Fuller) unravel when a passionate entanglement turns into an intense power struggle.  Helmed by Obie Award-winning director Jo Bonney, Kinship explores the deep, often funny, and always intense pursuit of total happiness."
