Gordon Edelstein will direct the play, which will run Aug. 5-23 on the festival’s main stage. The two other main stage productions will be world premieres of “Off the Main Road,” a play by William Inge (“Picnic”) that was thought to be lost, and “Paradise Blue,” a drama by Dominique Morisseau about a trumpeter and his struggling Detroit jazz club. “Off the Main Road” will star the Emmy Award winner Kyra Sedgwick (“The Closer”) as an emotionally fragile mother on the run with her daughter.
