Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) is pleased to present a new Off-Broadway production of Simon Gray’s comedy-drama The Common Pursuit directed by Moisés Kaufman.

The Common Pursuit features Kristen Bush as “Marigold,” Kieran Campion as “Peter,” Josh Cooke as “Stuart,” Jacob Fishel as “Martin,” Tim McGeever as “Humphry,” Lucas Near-Verbrugghe as “Nick.”

The Common Pursuit chronicles twenty years in the lives of six friends, from their ambitious collegiate days to their surprising discoveries in the real world.  Idealistic Cambridge student Stuart Thorne enlists some of his classmates to help him launch a new literary magazine. With the pursuit of great literature as their common thread, they become lifelong friends. But when damaging secrets crop up and business demands creep in, Stuart is faced with some unexpected decisions. Delightfully witty and remarkably poignant, The Common Pursuit is a captivating journey from who we think we are...to who we turn out to be.
