The Village Voice’s Michael Musto has revealed the potential starry Broadway dream cast for the unfinished Tennessee Williams play ‘In Masks Outrageous and Austere’.
It has been reported that Williams’ confidant and old friend Gore Vidal has been at work on finishing the play for a production to be directed by Peter Bogdanovich.
The play centers on a billionairess and is described as “a dark look at the masks that are worn by corporations and society,” according an informed insider.
The cast the creative team is trying to line up reports Michael Musto is none other than Bogdanovich’s ex, Cybill Shepherd; dreamy Josh Hartnett; grown-up Macaulay Culkin; and Oscar winner Juliette Binoche.
The ambitious project is being backed by the Halcyon Company, with an eye to turning it into a film. A rep for the company said an opening date for the play has not yet been set.
Musto gives his informed take on the production as “It doesn’t sound that austere, but hey, it definitely sounds outrageous, and I will surely be there. After some of the weird revivals of Tennessee’s classics in the last few years (the last Streetcar totally derailed, to name one example), it’s a godsend to have a whole new work of his to play with!”
Hartnett is currently starring in the West End production of Rain Man.
