Four-time Emmy Award winner and Academy Award nominee Laura Linney (My Name Is Lucy Barton, Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes) and Tony nominee Jessica Hecht (The Assembled Parties) are back on Broadway, starring in David Auburn’s new play Summer, 1976. Ahead of the play’s opening on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, take a look at the play’s stars in these new production photos.
Over one fateful summer, an unlikely friendship develops between Diana (Linney), a fiercely iconoclastic artist and single mom, and Alice (Hecht), a free-spirited yet naive young housewife. As the Bicentennial is celebrated across the country, these two young women in Ohio navigate motherhood, ambition, and intimacy, and help each other discover their own independence. Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan (Proof, Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes) directs the new play.
