There’s a new project set up to raise money for The Actors Fund from Broadway’s Best Shows called Spotlight on<\/em> Plays<\/em>. These will be live, one-night-only readings of plays. The series launches with a reading of David Mamet’s 2008 play, November<\/em>. You can watch this reading tonight, May 7th, at 8PM EDT\/5 PM PDT on the Broadway’s Best Shows YouTube<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> pages as well as The Actors Fund YouTube <\/a>channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starring in the reading of November<\/em> are John Malkovich, Patti LuPone, Dylan Baker, Ethan Phillips and Michael Nichols. The production is directed by Mamet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

November<\/em> is a satire about President Charles Smith. It’s an election year and if the polling is correct, he stands a good chance of not being re-elected. Why? The economy is tanking and the country just might be on the cusp of a nuclear war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the play ran on Broadway, Baker, Phillips and Nicholas were part of the original cast. LuPone has appeared in three Mamet plays: The Water Engine<\/em>, The Old Neighborhood<\/em> and The Anarchist<\/em>. There has been discussion of an all-female Glengarry Glen<\/em> Ross<\/em>, but those plans have yet to be solidified. Malkovich appeared last year in Mamet’s Bitter Wheat<\/em> in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recently launched Broadway’s Best Shows<\/em> is a content-driven website<\/a> that celebrates all things Broadway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadway’s Best Shows<\/em> will continue Spotlight on Plays<\/em> on May 14th with a live reading of Joshua Harmon’s Significant Other<\/em> featuring the original Broadway cast. On May 21st, Bryan Cranston and Sally Field will read A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
