Ed Harris to direct Broadway play
Ed Harris, known for movies such as “The Right Stuff” and “A Beautiful Mind,” will make his debut as a Broadway director next year with a production of Sam Shepard’s “Fool for Love.”
“Fool for Love” is the story of two lovers holed up in a seedy Mojave Desert motel. Harris won an Obie Award for his portrayal of Eddie in the 1983 off-Broadway premiere of the drama. That same year, he and Shepard played astronauts in “The Right Stuff.”
The production will open Feb. 10 at the American Airlines Theatre, the Roundabout Theatre Company announced Friday. The cast will be announced later.
Harris made his feature-film directing debut in 2000’s “Pollock,” about the life and career of painter Jackson Pollock.
