Arthur Laurents’s classic romantic comedy-drama 'The Time of the Cuckoo' has graced the New York stage in various definitive star-studded revivals, most famously the Lincoln Center Theater's acclaimed 2000 Broadway revival production at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater. The textually rich naturalistic narrative unfolds entirely inside the sun-drenched garden courtyard of a quiet pension hotel room in Venice, Italy, tracking Leona Samish, an insecure, independent single American woman who launches a passionate but bittersweet autumnal romance with a married Italian merchant. The 2000 revival starred Debra Monk.
