Choose options
Peter Shaffer’s brilliant contemporary dramatic masterpiece 'Five Finger Exercise' exploded onto the Broadway stage at the Music Box Theatre in 1959, running for an astonishing 337 performances to conquer the commercial scene under the banner of producer David Merrick. The claustrophobic naturalistic tragedy unfolds entirely inside an elegant English country house parlor corridor lot, tracking a dysfunctional high-society family whose domestic alignments fracture when a young tutor arrives, directed by John Gielgud.
