Chamberlain, now 80-“No surrender!” he tells us-plays Father Donald, a bigoted priest. The blinkered lives of its soap-opera mom, Harriet (Academy Award winner Holly Hunter), and dad, Ozzie (Bill Pullman), are torn apart when their crazed son, David (Ben Schnetzer), a blind Vietnam vet, returns home from the war.
Rabe’s 1971 Tony Award-winning play-one of his remarkable quartet of Vietnam dramas-goes to the damaged heart of American family values. The surprising appearance of Richard Chamberlain in the New Group’s revival of David Rabe’s savage black comedy Sticks and Bones (opening this month at the Pershing Square Signature Center, Off Broadway) is an inspired coup de théâtre.
