POSTERITY will begin previews Wednesday, February 25 and officially open Sunday, March 15, 2015 for a limited engagement through Sunday, April 5 Off Broadway at Atlantic Theater Company at The Linda Gross Theater (336 West 20th Street).

Norway's most celebrated sculptor (Linklater) is commissioned to create the last official portrait of the country's most famous writer, but Henrik Ibsen (Noble) proves to be an irascible, contentious sitter, as the two men wage war over both his legacy and his likeness. With his inimitable wit and insight, Doug Wright explores the nature of artistic success and the fear of being forgotten.

Doug Wright received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Tony Award®, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle Award and Lucille Lortel Award for his acclaimed play I AM MY OWN WIFE and wrote the books for the Broadway musicals THE LITTLE MERMAID, GREY GARDENS and HANDS ON A HARDBODY. His screenplay adaptation of his Obie Award winning play QUILLS was nominated for three Academy Awards®, a Golden Globe Award® and was named Best Picture by the National Board of Review.
