Victoria Clark to Return to the Stage in Silver's 'Agony'

Tony Award-winner Victoria Clark will co-star opposite playwright Nicky Silver (Pterodactyls, Raised in Captivity) in Silver's latest play, the dark comedy The Agony and the Agony, at the Vineyard Theatre (108 East 15th Street) in December.

In The Agony and the Agony-- scheduled for a 3-week Lab Production at the Vineyard, from December 8 to 22 -- Clark plays an ambitious actress married to a desperate playwright, played by Silver. Terry Kinney, who directed Silver's Beautiful Child at the Vineyard, will direct.

Clark has previously appeared on Broadway in Urinetown, Cabaret, Titanic, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, A Grand Night for Singing and Guys and Dolls. She also appeared in the San Francisco concert version of Sweeney Todd, and film and TV credits include Cradle Will Rock, Anastasia and "Law and Order."
