Sigourney Weaver, David Hyde Pierce, and Kristine Nielsen will be featured in the world premiere of Christopher Durang’s new play Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, playing September 7-October 7 at McCarter Theatre Center and at Lincoln Center Theater opening November 12.
Nicholas Martin will direct the production, which also features Genevieve Angelson, Shalita Grant, and Billy Magnussen.
In Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, instead of spending the morning strolling through their cherry orchard, Vanya (Pierce) and his stepsister Sonia (Nielsen) have their hands full with a prophetic cleaning woman and a surprise visit from their movie-star sister Masha (Weaver) and her new stud Spike (Magnussen).
