The Tony Award nominee and Emmy winner will return to the stage in the latest show by Tony and Oscar-nominated playwright and screenwriter David Hare.<\/p>\n

Laura Linney<\/a> will return to Broadway in spring 2027 in Montauk, a world-premiere play written by David Hare and directed by Daniel Sullivan. Manhattan Theatre Club will present the production at its Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, with exact dates to be announced.<\/p>\n

Linney is a four-time Emmy Award winner (Wild Iris, John Adams, The Big C, Frasier) and five-time Tony nominee. She has appeared in over a dozen Broadway shows, including four directed by Sullivan: Summer, 1976; The Little Foxes; Time Stands Still; and Sight Unseen.<\/p>\n

Hare is the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of the films The Hours and The Reader, and he also earned Tony nominations for his Broadway plays Plenty, Racing Demon, and Skylight.<\/p>\n

Montauk, his newest play, follows two artists with violently different approaches to art and life: Jared Speight, a Long Island abstract artists, and star writer Roxy Margaux (Linney). Over a decade, they become entangled romantically and professionally, revealing the true motives behind the art they make.<\/p>\n

Additional cast and creative team members have yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

Already announced for Manhattan Theatre Club’s 2026-27 season<\/a> are the Broadway premiere of Jocelyn Bioh’s School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play, directed by Whitney White, and the Off-Broadway premiere of Nick Payne’s The Unbelievers, directed by Knud Adams. Both will take place in fall 2026 ahead of Montauk in the spring.<\/p>\n

In addition to joining Montauk, Linney has also been named MTC’s inaugural artist-in-residence. She will work on developing projects for future MTC seasons and participate in the nonprofit’s community outreach and educational programs.<\/p>\n
