Blythe Danner and Eric Lange at Manhattan Theatre Club World Premier of 'The Country House'

Longing to be Famous in 'The Country House'

The Leonard Lopate Show | Nov 12, 2014

Tony and Emmy winner Blythe Danner and Eric Lange discuss their roles in “The Country House.” The play is about a brood of famous and longing-to-be-famous creative artists gathered at their Berkshires summer house during the Williamstown Theatre Festival. When the weekend takes an unexpected turn, it incites simmering jealousies, romantic outbursts, and passionate soul-searching. “The Country House” is playing at the Manhattan Theater Company’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre through November 23.
