The New Group's 2010-2011 Season to Include Plays by Moises Kaufman, Wallace Shawn and Tommy Nohilly

The 2010-2011 off-Broadway season of The New Group will feature plays by Tommy Nohilly, Moises Kaufman and Wallace Shawn. No dates, casting or additional details have been announced at this time.

The season will include the playwriting debut of ex-Marine and actor Nohilly with Blood From a Stone, a dark comedy about a troubled working-class family in Connecticut. Directed by New Group Artistic Director Scott Elliott, the piece recently enjoyed a private industry reading featuring Roseanne Barr, Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman, though a press representative stated that no casting is confirmed for the forthcoming production.

The New Group will collaborate with the Tectonic Theater Project to produce the New York premiere of One-Arm, adapted by Moises Kaufman (33 Variations, The Laramie Project) from a Tennessee Williams short story and unproduced screenplay. The play follows the story of a one-armed hustler on death row.

The third announced project will be a revival of actor and playwright Wallace Shawn’s Marie and Bruce, a sexually charged play about a couple’s crumbling marriage. The piece made its New York debut at the Public Theater in 1980 in a production that starred Bob Balaban and Louise Lasser. Scott Elliott (who collaborated with Shawn on Aunt Dan and Lemon and The Fever The New Group) will direct.

The company is currently presenting Scott Elliott's production of the new musical The Kid, starring Christopher Sieber, at the Acorn Theater on Theater Row.
