About
Any Wednesday is a 1964 American stage play by Muriel Resnik. It ran for 983 performances from 1964 to 1966, making it one of the most successful comedies on Broadway in the 1960s, and was turned into a feature film of the same name in 1966. The play's star, Sandy Dennis, won a Tony Award for her performance; William Goldman called it "one of the personal triumphs of the decade." It was also an early success in the career of Gene Hackman. The show had a tortured history. The script began as a short piece for the Actors Studio to use as a rehearsal scene before being expanded. It went through four different directors, and star Michael Rennie left the cast, being replaced at short notice by Don Porter. Amanda Barrie played the lead role in the London production which was less successful.
