SCR to premiere Greenberg play

Richard Greenberg, who has written eight plays for Costa Mesa’s South Coast Repertory Theatre, including his Pulitzer Prize-winning “Three Days of Rain,” will continue the relationship next year with the world premiere of “Our Mother’s Brief Affair.”

The SCR faithful will remember a laugh-so-hard-you-cry reading of the play at the theater’s 2007 Pacific Playwrights Festival, starring Jill Clayburgh and Adam Arkin doing their best Jewish mother and son. So it’s fitting that the play will premiere at the 12th annual festival, with a run April 3 to May 3 on the Segerstrom Stage.
