I highly recommend this prod'n. Always a delight to see Fritz Weaver. I could not take my eyes off of Michael Stuhlbarg & his wonderful characterization. Overall, good acting, sets, costumes, etc.

Here's the cast list:

Rachel Black, Christopher Duva, Steven Goldstein, Peter Maloney,
Katharine Powell, Judith Roberts, Geddeth Smith, Samantha Soule,
Michael Stuhlbarg, Fritz Weaver, Todd Weeks, C.J. Wilson
directed by DAVID WARREN

Here's a description of the play:

"The Voysey Inheritance. Atlantic co-founder David Mamet´s (Romance, Glengarry Glen Ross) new adaptation of Harley Granville-Barker´s classic play The Voysey Inheritance explores the timely issue of morals vs. money as an upper middle class family goes to pieces when it is revealed that the patriarch has amassed the family fortune by secretly embezzling money from his clients. As his son tries to put things in order, he discovers that the family is more than willing to perpetuate this way of doing business, rather than sacrifice their comfort and luxury."

You're one of the first reviews of this play I've read, and since I'm so interested in seeing it, I thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Michael Stuhlbarg is just amazing in every role he plays. (Well, I'm somewhat biased when it comes to him, considering he's my favorite actor.) I'm glad you enjoyed his performance.

Was Judith Roberts good in this?
