Pablo Schreiber and Rebecca Brooksher will star in Lincoln Center Theater's production of Dying City, a new play by Christopher Shinn (Four, Where Do We Live).

Directed by James Macdonald (A Number), the show will begin previews on Thursday, February 15, 2007 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater (150 West 65 Street).  Opening night is Sunday, March 4 at 6:45pm.

"Originally produced in London last spring at the Royal Court Theatre, Dying City tells the story of Kelly, a young therapist whose husband dies while on military duty in Iraq.  A year later, her husband's identical twin brother arrives unexpectedly at Kelly's door, seeking solace -- and answers to the mystery of his brother's death," as LCT notes state.

The play will have sets and costumes by Anthony Ward, lighting by Pat Collins and sound design by Guy Sherman/Aural Fixation.

Brooksher, who is making her LCT and off-Broadway debut, is a 2005 graduate of Juilliard.  She has appeared at the Actors Theatre of Louisville, The Guthrie Theatre and was in the CBS TV series, "Love Monkey."

Schreiber received a Tony Award nomination for his performance in LCT's Tony Award-winning production of Awake and Sing! last season. His off Broadway credits include Mr. Marmalade, Manuscript, Sin, Blood Orange, and Julius Caesar (NYSF).  His film and TV credits include: The Lords of Dogtown, The Manchurian Candidate, Into the Fire, The Mudge Boy, Invitation to a Suicide; Quid Pro Quo, "The Wire," John Grishom's "A Painted House," "Law & Order" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

This season, in addition to Dying City, Lincoln Center Theater is presenting The Clean House, a new play by Sarah Ruhl, directed by Bill Rauch, in the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater through Sunday, January 28.  In the Vivian Beaumont Theater, LCT is presenting Tom Stoppard's trilogy The Coast of Utopia, directed by Jack O'Brien, through Sunday, May 13.
