MCC Theater has announced two of the productions planned for its three play 2012-2013 season.

First, Lucie Tiberghian will direct the world premiere of Stephen Belber’s Don’t Go Gentle (September 27-November 4), in which Judge Lawrence Driver, conservative powerhouse on the bench and failure at home, is now retired, widowed, and seeking redemption. He volunteers to do pro bono legal work with Tanya, a vulnerable ex-con with a troubled teenage son, while working to repair the increasingly complicated relationships with his own adult children.

Next will be the New York premiere of Really Really (January 31-March 10) by Paul Downs Colaizzo, a funny look at the hazy aftermath of a wild party as dawn breaks on what appears to be just another day in the undergrad carnival that revolves around a
close circle of friends. David Cromer will direct.
