The Homecoming on Broadway Cast

The Homecoming on Broadway cast is made out of actors who interpret the six characters, five men and one woman, of the play The Homecoming written by Harold Pinter.

The Homecoming on Broadway had two release dates, one in London and the other one in New York. The London premiere was played mostly with actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company. It was directed by Peter Hall, with Paul Rogers as Max, Terence Rigby as Joey, Ian Holm as Lenny, John Normington as Sam, Michael Bryant as Teddy and Vivien Merchant as Ruth. The London premiere opened on the 3th of June 1965. The New York premiere of The Homecoming on Broadway opened two years later, on January 5h 1967. It was the first original American production from a book of Harold Pinter and it used the same cast as the London premiere with the exception of the role of Teddy. He was played in the American version of The Homecoming on Broadway by Michael Craig.
