Donald Margulies’s 'Brooklyn Boy' arrived at the Biltmore Theatre in 2005 as an elegant, deeply bittersweet comedy-drama under the auspices of Manhattan Theatre Club, marking the venue's first major post-restoration dramatic premiere. The narrative tracks Eric Weiss, a middle-aged Jewish author who achieves sudden, massive literary fame when his autobiographical novel climbs the global best-seller lists, forcing him to navigate a turbulent gauntlet of personal crises as he visits his dying father in a Brooklyn hospital, faces a divorce, and encounters Hollywood commercialism. Directed by Daniel Sullivan, the pristine production starred Adam Arkin in a tour-de-force lead performance alongside Allan Miller.
