Tony winner Michael Cerveris will play Kent, with Larry Bryggman as Gloucester and Logan Marshall-Green as Edmund alongside previously announced star Kevin Kline in the upcoming James Lapine-helmed mounting of King Lear at the Public Theater. It has also been announced that frequent Lapine collaborator Stephen Sondheim and Michael Starobin will compose an original score for the oft-produced Shakespeare classic.

Here's the link for the rest of the article:

Sondheim is collaborating with someone on the score?

Hmmm...anyone have any info on that?

Sounds fabulous though. Guess I need to find someone to place a cardboard cutout of me in one of the seats again.

As do I. This sounds like a heavenly production. I love Shakespeare.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

YAY! I can't wait for Heidi Ettinger to return to Broadway. She was a big inspiration to me as a kid wanting to be a Set Designer.

Well, Brent Carver (as Edgar) spent a large part of the recent Christopher Plummer Lear revival wearing only a loin cloth and I can recall another production where the Fool was fairly scantily clad, so I suppose nudity (or near nudity) might be possible.

as much as it's cool that Sondheim is writing something new, why not a musical?!

anyone knows of any upcoming anything else by Sondheim?

I'm not sure about Logan Marshall Green in the pivotal role of Edmund, but damn this looks incredible, I'm gon' BE there!

Logan Marshall-Green is a fine actor (and I'm not just talking about his looks). He tackles drama and comedy very well.

The title is escaping me, but he was fantastic in a play a few years ago about a group of struggling teens.
