As BWW reported earlier today, Second Stage Theatre (Carole Rothman, Artistic Director) has announced the complete cast and director for its upcoming production of Neil LaBute's world premiere drama, THE WAY WE GET BY.
The production will star Golden Globe nominee Tatiana Maslany, the critically-acclaimed star of the
BBC America series Orphan Black, making her New York stage debut, and Tony Award nominee
Thomas Sadoski, well known for his role on the
HBO series, "The Newsroom," as well as his Tony-nominated performance in LaBute's reasons to be pretty. The play will be directed by
Leigh Silverman, who was nominated for a Tony Award last season for her direction of Violet.
Maslany and Sadoski star as Beth and Doug: two people who have no problems getting dates with their partners of choice. What they do have, however, is a very awkward encounter after spending one hot night together following a drunken wedding reception they attend. They wake up to a blurry morning where the rules of attraction, sex and society are waiting for them before their first cup of coffee, leading them to ponder how much they really know about each other and how much they really care about what other people think. A world premiere from one of our most provocative storytellers, THE WAY WE GET BY is a play about love and lust and the whole damn thing.
Below, take an exclusive inside look at BBC AMERICA's original thriller,
ORPHAN BLACK and the astounding performance at the heart of the show, actress Tatiana Maslany.
