CHICAGO — Steppenwolf co-founder Terry Kinney has returned to the theater to direct a play called “Another Marriage,” opening later this month.
“At the outset, it could be interpreted as a play about meeting someone, getting married, having children and then a betrayal of that trust,” said Kinney. “But it takes a turn, and the turn is really about women being in the orbit of men in this world and how hard that is to escape. How gaining agency and status is something that a woman has to decide to do outside of the orbit of men. We think the second act is going to simply answer the questions of the first — what’s going to happen now? — but it actually takes another route and we watch this woman create her own universe.”
On-screen, Kinney’s career began with a guest role on “Miami Vice” and his credits since have included the HBO prison drama “Oz,” “Devil in a Blue Dress,” “Fly Away Home,” “The Mentalist,” and more recently “Billions” and “Inventing Anna.”
