Chaucer in Rome castmates Lee Wilkof and Carrie Preston celebrated the opening of John Guare's latest June 7 with Gross Indecency's Michael Emerson and Wilkof's wife.

Chaucer in Rome boasts a typically theatrical, absurdist Guare plot, in which the story of a painter trying to find himself in the Eternal City is matched with the tale of a Queens family searching for their son, all during the last year of the past millennium. The story is said to be a sequel of sorts to Guare's The House of Blue Leaves and includes the son of one of the earlier play's characters. Chaucer in Rome, directed by Nicholas Martin, runs at Lincoln Center Theater's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater.
