A Month in the Country, Led by GoT's Peter Dinklage & OITNB's Taylor Schilling, Begins Off-Broadway

Two TV faves are ready to go classic. A Month in the Country, starring Game of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage and Taylor Schilling of Orange Is the New Black, begins off-Broadway performances on January 9. The Classic Stage Company production, directed by Erica Schmidt (Dinklage’s wife), will open officially on January 29 and run through February 22.

Ivan Turgenev’s iconic play chronicles the comic and erotic turmoil that befalls an otherwise quiet country estate when a handsome young tutor arrives to teach Natalya Petrovna's (Schilling) young son. But it is Natalya who soon becomes interested in a tutelage of another kind, much to the consternation of her husband and her long suffering friend, Rakitin (Dinklage), who is hopelessly and secretly smitten with her.

In addition to Dinklage and Schilling, the cast includes Anthony Edwards, Annabella Sciorra, Elizabeth Franz, Peter Appel, Ian Etheridge, Mike Faist, James Joseph O’Neil, Elizabeth Ramos, Thomas Jay Ryan, Frank Van Putten and Megan West.
