Weaver and Rickman to Star in Benefit Reading for The Flea

Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman ("Seminar"), and Noah Robbins ("Arcadia") are set to appear in a reading of Hamish Linklater’s "The Vandal" on Tuesday, April 3 at The Museum of Jewish Heritage. The reading is a benefit presented by The Flea Theater, and will be directed by The Flea’s artistic director – and Weaver's husband – Jim Simpson.

"We are delighted to have an artist like Hamish share his gifts with The Flea," said The Flea's producing director Carol Ostrow. "To have luminaries like Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman interpret his work will mean an unforgettable evening of theater."

"The Vandal" is set on a frozen night in Kingston, NY, where a woman (Weaver) who's lost everything tags her name on Death's door. "The play is about how we live and the stories we tell ourselves when we’re haunted by the people we’ve loved and lost," said Linklater, who is currently appearing in "Seminar "on Broadway.

Tickets are $275 and include a light dinner with the cast. To RSVP, call (212) 226-0051, ext. 102 or email SarahW@TheFlea.org. All proceeds from this event will go to The Flea Theater, now entering its 17th year Off-Off-Broadway.
