The cast of Yale Rep's The Realistic Jonses features Pulitzer prize winner Tracy Letts (August Osage County) and TV and film actress Parker Posey. Also in the cast are Johanna Day and Glenn Fitzgerald.
Commissioned by Yale Repertory Theatre, The Realistic Jonses is written by Will Eno and will be directed by Sam Gold. The show runs April 20-May 12.
The story: Meet Bob and Jennifer (Letts and Day), and their new neighbors John and Pony ( Fitzgerald and Posey), two suburban couples who have more in common than their identical homes and the same last name on their mailboxes.
Tickets range from $20 to $88, are available online at www.yalerep.org, by phone at 203-432-1234, and in person at the Yale Rep Box Office (1120 Chapel Street, at York St., New Haven). Student, senior, and group rates are also available.
