The Manhattan Theatre Club production of the Alan Ayckbourn comedy ABSURD PERSON SINGULAR begins performances tonight in preparation for a Tuesday, October 18 opening at the Biltmore Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

Directed by John Tillinger, the cast features (in alphabetical order) Mireille Enos (Eva), Clea Lewis (Jane), Sam Robards (Geoffrey), Alan Ruck (Sidney), Deborah Rush (Marion), and Paxton Whitehead (Ronald).

Three couples, three kitchens, three successive Christmas Eves: welcome to the world of Alan Ayckbourn's comedy about social class and splendid cocktails.

This marks the sixth Alan Ayckbourn play Manhattan Theatre Club has produced. The almost 20 year relationship began with the 1988 production of Woman in Mind. Subsequent productions include: Absent Friends (1991), A Small Family Business (1992), Comic Potential (2000) and the interwoven plays House and Garden (2002). Director John Tillinger has previously helmed MTC's hit productions of Ayckbourn's House and Garden and Comic Potential.
