Close is set to star in a revival of _A Delicate Balanc_e, which first premiered on Broadway in 1966. Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize winning drama will officially open on Nov. 20, according to the Hollywood _Reporter_, though preview performances begin in October. [Pam MacKinnon](http://sdcweb.org/blog/staff/all/pam-mackinnon/ "undefined"), who won a Tony Award for another Albee play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”, will direct the play, which also stars John Lithgow and Martha Plimpton. Close, who was a stage actress before moving to the big screen — her first feature film was 1982’s _The World According to Garp_ — already has three Tonys to her name, including one in 1995 for her role as Norma Desmond in _Sunset Boulevard_. The revival is set to run for 18 weeks at the Golden Theatre. \[[_Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/glenn-close-return-broadway-a-704660 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/102213/glenn-close-broadway-a-delicate-balance/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/102213/glenn-close-broadway-a-delicate-balance/"},"headline":"Glenn Close Comes Back to Broadway in A Delicate Balance","datePublished":"2014-05-15T23:24:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:52:43.765Z","description":"In November, the Tony-winning actress will star alongside John Lithgow and Martha Plimpton in an upcoming revival of Edward Albee's Pulitzer Prize winning drama, A Delicate Balance, scheduled to run 18 weeks at the Golden Theatre","url":"https://time.com/102213/glenn-close-broadway-a-delicate-balance/","keywords":["Theater"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta6c404c65505af50/69868fcb13c79f3dfd1921f5/glenn-close-broadway.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta6c404c65505af50/69868fcb13c79f3dfd1921f5/glenn-close-broadway.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Glenn Close","caption":"Glenn Close","creditText":"Victoria Will—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/102213/glenn-close-broadway-a-delicate-balance/","name":"Glenn Close Comes Back to Broadway in A Delicate Balance"}}]}] ```
