Playwright Richard Nelson was born in 1950 on the south side of Chicago. Fourteen of his plays had already been produced by the time he graduated from New York’s Hamilton College in 1972. His works include Bal (a free adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s Baal), the book for the musical, Chess, and his most recent play, Madame Melville, starred Macaulay Culkin in both New York and London. “In SOME AMERICANS ABROAD, Nelson has conjured up a funny, witty and biting portrayal of a group of American academics on a whirlwind theatre tour of England,” explains director Joseph Arnold. “He lovingly skewers the passion Americans have for all things British and that curious decision-making process that has come to be known as ‘department politics’.”
