Love gets a second chance (again) in a second benefit live stream production of We Have To Hurry, this time starring Tony nominee Alfred Molina and playwright-performer Dorothy Lyman. The work, which debuted in May starring Elliott Gould and Kathleen Chalfant, airs June 5 at 8 PM ET and June 6 at 3 PM via Broadway on Demand.
Patricia Vanstone returns to direct the play, which follows a pair of mature people forced to commune from across a balcony due to new isolation protocols. When Gil notices the secret love of his life, Margaret, growing increasingly frustrated with the situation, he takes action to make every moment left count.
