Seminar: A New Comedy

They came for a class in writing. They got a lesson in survival.

SEMINAR is the provocative new comedy from Pulitzer Prize nominee THERESA REBECK (Mauritius), directed by Obie Award winner SAM GOLD (Circle Mirror Transformation). International stage and screen star ALAN RICKMAN (Les Liaisons Dangereuses, the Harry Potter film series) returns to the Broadway stage for the first time since his Tony® nominated turn in Private Lives. Joining him in the cast are Tony® nominee LILY RABE (The Merchant of Venice), Drama Desk nominee HAMISH LINKLATER (Twelfth Night, The New Adventures of Old Christine), JERRY O'CONNELL (Jerry Maquire, Stand By Me) and HETTIENNE PARK (Tony Kushner’s The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide...).

In SEMINAR, four aspiring young novelists sign up for private writing classes with Leonard (Alan Rickman), an international literary figure. Under his recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instruction, some thrive and others flounder, alliances are made and broken, sex is used as a weapon and hearts are unmoored. The wordplay is not the only thing that turns vicious as innocence collides with experience in this biting new comedy. This is its world premiere.
