It has been announced that Paul will be directing the Westport (CT) Playhouse's fall 2008 production of Of Mice and Men... believe it or not, this is the first time Paul has directed for the stage!
From Broadwayworld.com:
The enduring masterpiece, Of Mice and Men, will be directed by Paul Newman. The play is based on John Steinbeck's 1937 tale of two traveling companions, George and Lennie, who wander the country during the Depression, dreaming of a better life for themselves. George wants to own land and be his own boss. His mentally challenged partner, Lennie, simply wants rabbits to play with. When it seems that their dreams might be attainable, something goes terribly wrong. Multi-Tony Award-winning designer Michael Yeargan will be scenic designer, with the legendary Jane Greenwood as costume designer. Of Mice and Men will run October 7 through October 25. Due to the caliber of artists attached to this production, the Playhouse has added a fourth week of performances for Of Mice and Men, Thursday, Friday and two Saturday performances, October 30 – November 1.
