See the Newly Announced Full Cast of David Ives' The Metromaniacs

The Old Globe has announced the complete cast and creative team for the West Coast premiere of David Ives' The Metromaniacs. Presented in association with Shakespeare Theatre Company, the production will be directed by Michael Kahn on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage from January 30-March 6. Opening night is February 4.

A new "translaptation" of Alexis Piron’s classic French farce La Métromanie, The Metromaniacs takes place in 18th-century Paris, where poets are the rock stars of the day, and young people like Damis have gone crazy for poetry. His mania is so intense that he falls in love with his favorite poetess, not knowing that his idol is actually a middle-aged gentleman writing under a pen name.

The cast features Benjamin Cole (Servant), Christian Conn (Damis), Cary Donaldson (Dorante), Michael Goldstrom (Mondor), Peter Kybart (Baliveau), Adam LeFevre (Francalou), Amelia Pedlow (Lucille), Connor Sullivan (Servant), and Dina Thomas (Lisette).

The creative team includes James Noone (scenic design), Murell Horton (costume design), Mark McCullough (lighting design), Matt Tierney (sound design), Adam Wernick (original music), Laura Stanczyk, CSA (casting director), Carter C. Wooddell (additional casting), and Jess Slocum (production stage manager).
