Yale Rep Presents Autumn Sonata

Yale Rep presents the US premiere of Ingmar Bergman’s Autumn Sonata, directed by Robert Woodruff, based on a literal translation by Wendy Weckwerth April 12-May 7 at Yale Repertory Theatre, 1120 Chapel St. New Haven. Charlotte (Candy Buckley), a celebrated classical pianist who has forged a successful career at the expense of her family, attempts to reconcile with her daughter Eva (Rebecca Henderson), whom she has not seen in seven years. Over the course of one evening, they confront their darkest feelings and resentments. A tightly-wound psychological study of the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters, Autumn Sonata reveals that living and loving—like mastering notes on a piano—are skills that must be practiced every day. Tickets range from $10 to $85 and are available online at www.yalerep.org, by phone at 203-432-1234, and in person at the box office, 1120 Chapel St. at York Street. Student, senior, and group rates are also available.
