The production will begin performances at Playwrights Horizons in May 2013.
Two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey will star in the world premiere of Amy Herzog’s new play, The Great God Pan, to be directed by Carolyn Cantor.

As previously reported, two-time Tony Award nominee Amy Ryan and Emmy Award nominee David Schwimmer will star in the New York premiere of Lisa D’Amour’s Detroit, directed by Anne Kauffman, to run August 24- October 7, with opening sometime in mid-September. The play is set in the adjacent backyards of two recovering addicts and their anxious middle-class neighbors.
