James Franco, currently making his Broadway debut in Of Mice and Men, will add stage director to his artistically wide-ranging credits with the off-Broadway production of Robert Boswell's The Long Shrift.
Part of the 20th anniversary season of the Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre, the drama concerns a man accused of rape as a teenager who is released from prison nine years later, when he finds his accuser suddenly back in his life.
According to Boswell's website, the play will star Scott Haze, Ahna O'Reilly, Brian Lally, Allie Gallerani and Ally Sheedy. It is scheduled to run from July 13 through Aug. 23.
Haze has worked with Franco on a number of his screen-directing ventures. He played the lead of a violent social outcast deep in the Tennessee Mountains in Child of God, adapted from the novella by Cormac McCarthy.
