SUMMARY:Chester Bailey at Barrington Stage Company
DESCRIPTION:New York Times Critic’s Pick\nChester Bailey\nBy JOSEPH DOUGHERTY\nStarring REED BIRNEY and EPHRAIM BIRNEY\nDirected by RON LAGOMARSINO\nJUNE 18–JULY 9\nBy popular demand: performances added!\nJULY 7\, 7:30 PM \nIndoors at the Boyd-Quinson Stage\,\n30 Union Street\, Pittsfield\, MA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a stateside hospital at the close of World War II\, a young man recovers from catastrophic injuries. Or so the doctors have told him. But Chester Bailey denies what’s happened to him has actually happened\, which is how he comes under the care of Dr. Philip Cotton. Older\, wounded in his own ways\, Cotton is charged with leading Chester back to reality. The journey is not what either man expected. Chester Bailey stars real-life father and son\, Tony Award winner Reed Birney (The Humans\, “House of Cards”) and Ephraim Birney (“Gotham\,” “The Americans”)\, as doctor and patient. \nThe Washington Post hailed Chester Bailey as “a keenly observed\, beautifully written tale about guilt and psychological resilience in World War II-era America\, and a luminous showcase for father-son actors Reed Birney and Ephraim Birney.”
