Jan de Hartog’s brilliant mid-century dramatic masterpiece 'The Fourposter' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Barrymore Theatre in 1951, running for an astonishing 632 performances and capturing the Tony Award for Best Play. The textually rich naturalistic comedy-drama unfolds entirely inside a single bedroom set over a multi-decade timeline spanning thirty-five years, tracking Michael and Agnes navigating marital squabbles, generational rifts, and quiet resilience, starring Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy.
