The final weekend of performances of David Cale’s latest solo play, The Unknown, starring Tony winner Sean Hayes, will be streamed online on April 10 (8pm), April 11 (2pm and 8pm), and April 12 (3pm).

Directed by Leigh Silverman, the stream from Studio Seaview is presented by LD Entertainment, in partnership with Broadway.Stream and the League of Live Stream Theater. You can purchase tickets here.

In The Unknown, Hayes plays Elliott, a writer who heads to a remote cabin to cure his writer’s block, only to discover he may not be alone. Cale’s plays include the recently acclaimed Blue Cowboy, as well as Harry Clarke and Sandra, both of which were directed by Silverman.

The Unknown features scenic design by Studio Bent, costume design by Sarah Laux, lighting design by Cha See, sound design by Caroline Eng, and music by Isobel Waller-Bridge.

Our critic called The Unknown, “a dramatic perpetual motion machine radiating horror and suspense.”
