The Prisoner of Second Avenue

Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason star as a middle-aged couple nearing their wits’ end in an Upper East Side apartment. Reprising their roles from the hit revival in London’s West End, Dreyfuss and Mason are perfect foils for the everyday anxieties that can so easily dominate life in the big city.

Recorded at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in January 2000.
