Lincoln Center Theater has announced casting for J.T. Rogers’ Blood and Gifts, which will begin performances on October 27 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater. As previously reported, Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher will direct the production, which will open officially on November 21.

The play, set in the 1980s, follows CIA operative Jim Warnock as he struggles to stop the Soviet Army’s destruction of Afghanistan. The ground constantly shifts for Jim and his counterparts in the KGB and British and Pakistani secret service as the political and personal alliances between the men keeps changing.
