Sam Waterston to Star in “Old Masters”

Photo from Sam’s last appearance at Long Wharf, in “Have you Seen Us?”

Sam Waterston (Law & Order), considered an “old master” in his own right, will return to Long Wharf Theatre to appear in the American premiere of Simon Gray's 2004 work "The Old Masters. " The play will co-star Brian Murray and will be directed by Michael Rudman. A Broadway run is also planned, to be produced by John Martello and Elliot Martin. The Long Wharf production will run from January 19, 2011 to February 13, 2011 (Broadway dates have not been announced).

"The Old Masters" takes place in Italy in 1937, and focuses on a meeting in a villa outside Florence, Italy in 1937 between art historian, renowned art critic, connoisseur, writer, and collector Bernard Berenson (Waterston) and multimillionaire and world's most pre-eminent art dealer, Joseph Duveen (Murray). Duveen prepares to visit Bereson late that night with a priceless Renaissance painting for Berenson to examine, but this may jeopardize their long standing and secret business arrangement.

Tickets are scheduled to go on sale in early August; details on ticket information will be available at www.longwharf.org .

S. Epatha Merkerson Featured in LA Times

Today’s LA Times has a very nice feature on S. Epatha Merkerson, which you can read at the following link: The life force of S. Epatha Merkerson

Some excerpts:

"The first thing you see about her is the raw talent on the screen," says "L&O" show runner Rene Balcer. "The second thing is her tremendous work habits. She communicates so much sometimes by saying so little. There's just this tremendous life force in her…Sometimes we have overlooked her, to our detriment," admits Balcer. "It's a thankless role for actors, being the pivot in our first half, yet she's been able to imbue it with such moral authority that you can't help but notice her."

“…Working within the limitations of a small character's role, Merkerson has made Van Buren more than the sum of her parts. And what might turn out to be the biggest surprise for those who haven't worked with Merkerson is that she's much looser around the office than the lieutenant she plays.

"She has a big, broad way of talking, full of low-down language and colorful expression," says Sam Waterston, who's been a cast member almost as long as Merkerson. "All that sure helps with getting through the long hours of shooting."




My personal hope is that she is nominated for, and wins, an Emmy for her performance this past season!

Sam Waterston Speaks to CNN on Gulf Disaster

Law & Order’s Sam Waterston, who is also a board member of Oceana, spoke with CNN about the disaster in the Gulf. You can read the full article here: Waterston: Gulf disaster 'is an enormous wake-up call'

An excerpt:

Waterston, 69, who traces his interest in marine issues back to his New England childhood, is hoping the public channels frustration with the oil fiasco into action. The actor, who concluded 16 years as District Attorney Jack McCoy on "Law & Order" with the show's final episode last month, will take part in a July 10 "awareness-raising" charitable event for Oceana, the group founded by actor Ted Danson. Waterston says he hopes that interest stays high even after the oil well is capped and the cleanup takes over.

Waterston spoke to CNN about the oil disaster as a "turning point," anger at celebrities and -- yes -- a little "Law & Order." The following is an edited version of the interview.

CNN: What can be done? It's a very frustrating time for everybody.

Sam Waterston: I hear it from people all over the place. They're feeling helpless and don't know how to respond. [With Oceana,] they can weigh in on this with a lot of other voices, and therefore be more likely to have their voices heard in talking to their representatives and the administration.

This should be a turning point in all of our minds about what our course ought to be about energy supply in this country if we want to preserve the oceans as we know them. ... There's no way to escape the fact that these carbon-based fuels are poisoning the ocean upon which we all depend.
