Come Back Little Sheba : : Manhattan Theatre Club

about the play

LOLA IS A FADED BEAUTY QUEEN trapped in a lonely marriage to Doc, a recovering alcoholic on the brink of relapse. When a pretty young woman becomes a boarder in their cluttered Midwest home, their lives are unsettled as unspoken passions rise to the surface. As the emptiness of their marriage is laid bare, can they find their way back or will they be undone?

Celebrated playwright William Inge explores these powerful themes in COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA, a true American classic about lost hopes and unfulfilled promise, told with unflinching honesty and heartbreaking power.

Emmy Award® winner and Tony Award® nominee S. Epatha Merkerson ("Law and Order," Lackawanna Blues) and Tony nominee Kevin Anderson (Death of a Salesman) head the cast of this new production directed by Emmy winner Michael Pressman ("Picket Fences").
