Prymate will be the final show
to open for the 2003-2004 Broadway season and it's a surprise all
the way around. The show premiered -- and only had a two-week run --
at Tallahassee's Florida State University in February 2004. Ms
Frelich, Ms Tom and Mr De Shields starred along with Robert Walden.
Mr Walden is the only cast member reported not to be making the leap
to Broadway
Prymate's story from the FSU
press release: "In the arenas of science and love, who has
the right to do what to whom? Prymate follows the story of
two scientists battling for control over the life of an aging
gorilla that communicates through the use of American Sign Language.
The play deals with the gorilla’s right to age peacefully versus
the possibility that he might be used to find a cure for a deadly
disease"
