Director Neil Pepe and CTG's Artistic Director Michael Ritchie talk about The Subject Was Roses, playing now at The Mark Taper Forum. Martin Sheen returns to the play that earned him a Tony Award nomination in 1964; now as the patriarch of a family forced to confront its own privatized emotions and buried truths. Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) and Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker) complete the family triangle struggling to reconnect after years of emotional distance and rediscover the beauty in the simple gift of roses.
I'm so proud to say that I was there to see Martin Sheen come full circle with this production. I've seen a million and one plays, but Mr. Sheen takes the cake. What a wonderful stage actor. Thank you sir.
