Better Late, a poignant comedy by Larry Gelbart, will be presented in a staged reading at Guild Hall in East Hampton for a single night only on August 16th, at 7:00 p.m. The play boasts a stellar cast, including Tony and Emmy award-winning performers David Hyde Pierce, Danny Burstein, Debra Monk, and Dan Bucatinsky, under the direction of five-time Tony Award-winning director Susan Stroman.
The story revolves around Nora and her husband Lee, who extend their home to Nora’s ailing ex-husband, Julian. While the premise suggests farce, Gelbart skillfully weaves a narrative that explores the intricacies of love and the enduring bonds of human connection. Renowned for his sharp wit and insightful commentary on relationships, Gelbart’s work serves as a poignant reminder that both life and theater are ongoing journeys, filled with unexpected twists and revelations, until the final curtain falls.
