The Old Masters with Sam Waterston

Having already bought my tickets, I feel no hesitation in letting you know about the staged reading of The Old Masters with Sam Waterston and Brian Murray, at the Met on June 20 and 27.

If reviews of previous productions can be believed, this will be a treat—even without the trappings of a full-dress play. And if, like me, you have enjoyed Sam Waterston in The Killing Fields and I’ll Fly Away, and if you are still smarting from the cancellation of the original and best incarnation of Law & Order, you might want to catch this. I’m not familiar with Brian Murray, but anyone who’s been nominated for Tony awards in The Crucible, The Little Foxes, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead can’t be all bad.
