Sam Rockwell set for Broadway comeback

LONDON, Dec 5: ‘Moon’ actor Sam Rockwell is set for a comeback to the Broadway stage in a revival of Sam Shepard’s 1983 play ‘Fool For Love’.

Rockwell, 46, last appeared on the Broadway stage in 2010’s ‘A Behanding in Spokane’.

He will play one half of a troubled former couple working through its issues in a desert motel opposite ‘Venus in Fur’ Nina Arianda next autumn, reported Contactmusic.

The pair will tackle the parts originally made famous by Ed Harris and Kathy Baker off-Broadway in 1983.

Robert Altman directed a film adaptation of the project in 1985, featuring writer-actor Shepard and Kim Basinger in the leading roles.

‘Fool For Love’ will begin previews at the Samuel J Friedman Theatre in New York next September. (PTI)
