Adapted from the novel by Sinclair Lewis
Directed by Christopher Ashley
Produced in association with La Jolla Playhouse
Two-time Tony-winner Matthew Broderick (The Producers, Plaza Suite) makes his STC debut in this breathtaking political satire.
Meet George F. Babbitt: real estate broker, father of two, a fine, upstanding, middle-class American everyman. Seeking meaning to his humdrum existence, Babbitt plunges headlong into the most spectacular rebellion of his life (using the guest towel) and unwittingly turns the world around him upside down. Prepare to be amazed by this exhilarating adaptation of Sinclair Lewis’s satirical masterpiece.
“BRODERICK IS A NATURAL…There’s never a dull moment onstage.” –Los Angeles Times
