Laura Linney, a five-time Tony nominee, will return to Broadway next spring in David Hare\u2019s new play, \u201cMontauk.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the play, about a relationship between two artists, Linney will portray a writer who becomes entangled with a painter in Manhattan and on Long Island. The role of the painter has not yet been cast.<\/p>\n

Directed by Daniel Sullivan, \u201cMontauk\u201d will be presented at the Samuel J. Friedman Theater by Manhattan Theater Club, one of the four nonprofits with Broadway houses. The organization, in announcing the production, also said that it had named Linney its first artist-in-residence, and that in that role she will develop future productions for the company and will assist with its outreach programs.<\/p>\n

Linney is a prolific actress onscreen as well as onstage. She has been nominated three times for Academy Awards, for the films \u201cYou Can Count on Me,\u201d \u201cKinsey\u201d and \u201dThe Savages.\u201d She was most recently on Broadway in a 2023 MTC production of \u201cSummer, 1976.\u201d<\/a> Hare is best known for the plays \u201cPlenty\u201d and \u201cSkylight\u201d and the films \u201cThe Hours\u201d and \u201cThe Reader.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, the commercial producer Scott Rudin had said<\/a> he was intending to produce \u201cMontauk,\u201d but he said this week that he has since opted not to pursue the project because of \u201ccreative differences as to the direction of the script.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Laura Linney, a five-time Tony nominee, will return to Broadway next spring in David Hare\u2019s new play, \u201cMontauk.\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1591,28464,59867,85125,85123,85122,85127,85124,9,11,10,49,51,50,85126,905,85128],"class_list":["post-215752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-actors-and-actresses","tag-david","tag-friedman","tag-hare","tag-laura","tag-linney","tag-manhattan-theater-club","tag-montauk-play","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-samuel-j","tag-theater","tag-theater-broadway"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
