B'way Update: Delia Ephron Memoir on Stage

Delia Ephron

Producer Daryl Roth announced that Delia Ephron (You've Got Mail) will make her Broadway playwriting debut with Left on Tenth, based on her best-selling memoir, to be directed by Tony winner Susan Stroman (The Producers, Contact) and starring Emmy winner Juliana Margulies and SAG winner Peter Gallagher. The production is scheduled for fall 2024 with dates and a theater to be announced. Left on Tenth chronicles Ephron's second chance at love. When she least expects it, Delia Ephron, best-selling novelist and screenwriter of You've Got Mail, makes a surprising connection with a man from her past and falls into her own romantic comedy. As their immediate spark blossoms into a love story that seems to defy all odds, Delia’s life takes an unexpected turn. Left on Tenth tells the messy, beautiful truth about getting older while feeling young, as it celebrates two people with the courage to rewrite their futures and open their hearts again.

“I am grateful and thrilled to be working with these champions of theater – Susan Stroman and Daryl Roth,” said Delia Ephron. “Left on Tenth is about a perilous and wondrous time of my life. We invite you to join our team of warriors and become believers yourselves.”

“When Delia first spoke to me about her manuscript of Left on Tenth, I felt that her story would make a magnificent play,” said Producer Daryl Roth. “It is heartfelt, deeply personal yet universal, and full of hope. But it is also a classic romantic comedy for a certain generation, showing us that we can all be blessed with a second chance at life and love.”

With her sister Nora, Ephron co-authored the Off-Broadway play, Love, Loss and What I Wore. Her many movie credits – often co-written with her sister Nora -- include You’ve Got Mail, Michael, and Hanging Up, based on her novel.
