Thérèse Raquin will begin preview performances on Thursday, October 1, 2015, and open officially on Thursday, October 29, 2015 on Broadway at Studio 54.

A quiet young woman with a restless spirit, Thérèse (Knightley) submits to a loveless life at the side of her weak and selfish husband played by Tony Award winner Gabriel Ebert (Matilda), and her controlling mother-in-law, played by two-time Tony Award winner Judith Light (The Assembled Parties)...until she meets his childhood friend Laurent played by Matt Ryan ("Constantine"). When their overwhelming passion spins violently out of control, they realize that love can be a dangerous game, and sometimes there is no winner. Based on the novel by Émile Zola, Thérèse Raquin by Helen Edmundson is a tale of love, lust, betrayal and guilt that will leave you breathless.

Keira Knightley is an Academy Award, Golden Globe and Olivier nominee. Knightley made her West End theatrical debut in Martin Crimp's translation of Molière's comedy The Misanthrope, staged by Thea Sharrock at the Comedy Theatre in London (Olivier Award nomination & Evening Standard Award nomination for The Natasha Richardson Award for Best Actress). Knightley will next be seen in cinemas in The Emperor's Children opposite Rachel McAdams, Emma Thompson and Richard Gere. Gabriel Ebert made his Broadway debut in Roundabout's production of Brief Encounter. In 2013, he won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. Matt Ryan made his Broadway debut in Hamlet (2009), after being a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company since 2004 and recently starring in the title role of NBC's "Constantine." Judith Light is a two-time Tony and Drama Desk award winner for her roles in Other Desert Cities and The Assembled Parties. Currently starring in Golden-Globe winning television series, "Transparent," she is also a two-time Emmy Award winner for her work on ABC's daytime soap opera, "One Life to Live."

The design team includes Beowulf Boritt (sets), Jane Greenwood (costumes), Keith Parham (lighting), and Josh Schmidt (sound).
