Mr. Pacino is joined on stage by actor Christopher Denham, who costarred on Broadway in “Master Harold”... and the boys opposite Danny Glover and The Lieutenant of Inishmore, as well as in Roundabout Theater Company’s The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durin and Playwright’s Horizons’s Kindness. Denham also appeared on screen in films such as the 2013 Academy Award-winning Best Picture Argo starring Ben Affleck, and Shutter Island starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
CHINA DOLL will mark the tenth presentation of a David Mamet work by Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, and Steve Traxler on Broadway and the West End.
The creative team will include scenic design by Tony Award winner Derek McLane (33 Variations, Beautiful The Carol King Musical), costume design by Tony Award winner Jess Goldstein (The Rivals, Jersey Boys), and lighting design by Russell H.
