Photo Flash: Fifty Words at MCC Starring Butz and Marvel

By:

MCC THEATER will present the World Premiere Production of Michael Weller's Fifty Words, under the direction of Austin Pendleton.  The two-character play stars Elizabeth Marvel and Norbert Leo Butz. Performance began on September 10 and continues through October 25, with an opening night set for Sunday, September 28 at 6:30 p.m.
 
In Fifty Words, something's gone awry behind the idyllic façade of Jan and Adam's Brooklyn brownstone.  At 9:10 p.m., they're reveling in the freedom of having waved off their young son, Greg, to a neighborhood sleepover.  By 9:30 p.m., things have gone, well…way past awry.  Alternately funny and frightening, Fifty Words is an expansive look at modern marriage, as seen through the looking glass of one couple's long night's journey into day.

Individual tickets to Fifty Words are on sale now through TicketCentral.com or by calling 212-279-4200.  Subscriptions are also available now and are priced as low as $79 for MCC's entire three play season.  For more information and to purchase packages, visit www.mcctheater.org or contact TicketCentral directly at www.ticketcentral.com or call 212-279-4200.
