The American premiere of Nick Payne’s Incognito has extended its off-Broadway engagement. Performances will now run through July 10 at New York City Center - Stage I; it had initially been scheduled to play its final performance on June 26.
The Manhattan Theatre Club production, directed by Doug Hughes, stars Charlie Cox, Heather Lind, Geneva Carr and Morgan Spector. It opened officially on May 24.
In Incognito, the four actors play a combined 21 characters within three interwoven stories. A pathologist steals the brain of Albert Einstein; a neuropsychologist embarks on her first romance with another woman; a seizure patient forgets everything but how much he loves his girlfriend. Incognito braids these tales into a whole that asks whether memory and identity are nothing but illusions.
