Westport Country Playhouse announced casting for its production of Laura Eason's Sex With Strangers, running September 26-October 14.

Chris Ghaffari (Shakespeare in the Park's King Lear) will play Ethan, and Jessica Love (The Snow Geese, TV's The Blacklist) will play Olivia in the House of Cards writer-producer's 2014 play.

Directed by Katherine M. Carter, the creative team includes Edward T. Morris (scenic design), Caitlin Cisek (costume design), Alan Edwards (lighting design), and Beth Lake (sound design).

Sex With Strangers is the story of an affair between Ethan, a brash young blogger turned best-selling writer who shares his sexual exploits with the world, and Olivia, a reserved teacher whose would-be writing career stalled after one book published years earlier.
