Domestic Realism
Martin Sheen, Frances Conroy and Brian Geraghty to star in The Subject was Roses.
When it comes to family, there are three sides to every story. A young man’s return from World War II becomes a catalyst for an emotional tug-of-war in which love is a prize and a weapon.
Martin Sheen returns to the play that earned him a Tony Award® nomination in 1964, now as the patriarch of a family forced to confront its own privatized emotions and buried truths. Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) and Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker) complete the family triangle struggling to reconnect after years of emotional distance and rediscover the beauty in the simple gift of roses.
Sometimes opportunity knocks. Sometimes it calls you on the phone.
