FREEZE FRAME: Meet the Cast of THE (CURIOUS CASE OF THE) WATSON INTELLIGENCE

The Playwrights Horizons World Premiere production of The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence, a new play by Madeleine George (The Zero Hour), will be directed by two-time Obie Award winner Leigh Silverman. Tthe production will begin previews Friday evening, November 15 at 8PM with an Opening Night set for Monday, December 9 at 7PM. The limited engagement will play through Sunday evening, December 29 at Playwrights Horizons' Mainstage Theater (416 West 42nd Street). The cast and creative team met the press earlier today and you can check out a photo preview below. Check back later for full coverage!

The cast will feature Tony Award nominee John Ellison Conlee(The Full Monty, Murder Ballad, The Madrid, Pig Farm), David Costabile("Breaking Bad," "Suits," Lincoln, Mr. Marmalade, Translations, Caroline or Change) and Amanda Quaid (Cock, Luck of the Irish, The Seagull, A Public Reading...Disney). Ms. Quaid steps in for the previously-announced Maggie Siff.

Watson (Mr. Conlee): trusty sidekick to Sherlock Holmes; loyal engineer who built Bell's first telephone; unstoppable super-computer that became reigning Jeopardy! champ; amiable techno-dweeb who, in the present day, is just looking for love. Four constant companions become one in this brilliantly witty, time-jumping, loving tribute (and cautionary tale) dedicated to the people - and machines - upon which we all depend.

Single tickets start at $70. A special online pre-sale will begin Tuesday, October 15 at 12 Noon. For the first 24 hours only, $40 discount tickets (regularly $70) can be purchased exclusively via Playwrights Horizons' Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/PlaywrightsHorizons.
