After garnering rave reviews, Lindsey Ferrentino's Ugly Lies the Bone, starring a magnificent Mamie Gummer, will extend off-Broadway. The world premiere is now scheduled to play through December 6; the Roundabout production had previously been set to shutter on November 22.
Gummer plays Jess, a soldier who returns to her Florida hometown with vivid memories of her three tours in Afghanistan. After realizing how much her home life has changed, she turns to virtual reality video game therapy to escape her pain.
In addition to Gummer, the cast includes Karron Graves, Caitlin O’Connell, Chris Stack and Haynes Thigpen. Patricia McGregor directs.
Ugly Lies the Bone is playing at the Black Box Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.
