NEXT FALL by Geoffrey
Nauffts opened off-Broadway in the spring of 2009. Rave reviews resulted in
three extensions to the limited engagement. Subsequently the show transferred to
the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway opening March 11 2010 after previews began
on February 16. The show received two 2010 Tony Award nominations for Best Play
and Best Director. NEXT FALL was also nominated for two Drama Desk awards
including Best Play as well as the Outer Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play. It
won the Outer Critics’ John Gassner Award for playwriting.
The Good Theater production of NEXT FALL stars Equity actors Rob Cameron, Moira
Driscoll and Abbie Killeen along side Joe Bearor, Matt Delamater and Tony
Reilly. Brian P. Allen, Good Theater’s Artistic Director, directs with set
design by Craig Robinson, costume design by Justin Cote, who also serves as the
production stage manager, lighting design by Iain Oddlin, and Stephen Underwood
is the technical director.
The story of NEXT FALL revolves around Luke who believes in God and Adam who
believes in everything else. NEXT FALL portrays the ups and downs of this
unlikely couple’s five-year relationship with sharp humor and unflinching
honesty. And when an accident changes everything, Adam must turn to Luke’s
family and friends for support and answers. NEXT FALL paints a beautiful and
funny portrait of modern romance, asking the hard questions about commitment,
love, and faith.
