Theater Talk: Actor Frank Langella, on his role in Terence Rattigan's play "Man and Boy"

We welcome actor Frank Langella, now appearing in Terence Rattigan's MAN AND BOY at The Roundabout Theatre Company. The master performer discusses playing a sinister financier, the central character of this drama. Although Rattigan wrote this play in 1963, it resonates with modern audiences, evoking the shock of the Madoff scandal, among others. Langella also talks about his upcoming book, DROPPED NAMES, in which he reminisces about many of the interesting eminent people whom he got to know throughout his lengthy career in show business.

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.

The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)

The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.
