AMERICAN PREMIERE

Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award-Winner Cynthia Nixon and Emmy Award-winner Penny Fuller make their Festival debuts in Carey Perloff’s gripping and sexy new drama.  The tightly wound lives of a fiery newspaper editor (Nixon), an upstart journalist (Lowell), and his overly-protective mother (Fuller) unravel when a passionate entanglement turns into an intense power struggle.  Helmed by Obie Award-winning director Jo Bonney, Kinship explores the deep, often funny, and always intense pursuit of total happiness.
