Fresh off a 12-season run as Howard Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory, Simon Helberg will star in the Geffen Playhouse's production of Witch by Jen Silverman. Directed by Marti Lyons, it will run August 20-September 29.

Inspired by the Jacobean drama The Witch of Edmonton by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker, and John Ford, the new play finds a charming devil arriving in a quiet village to bargain for souls in exchange for granting darkest wishes.

Helberg will take on the role of Cuddy Banks, with additional casting still to be announced.
