It’s one of two new works that will be playing in repertory at the Minetta Lane Theatre in New York City. Both are being produced by premium audio storytelling brand Audible, as well as TOGETHER — the new theatrical partnership led by Sonia Friedman and Jackman dedicated to creating live theater that is intimate and accessible.
In Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, per a release, Jackman plays Jon — an acclaimed novelist, charismatic university professor and middle-aged man who meets Ella’s Annie, a 19-year-old star student and huge fan of Jon’s work. Soon, their “undeniable attraction draws them into dangerous territory” and “down the most slippery of slopes” that will have audiences questioning their perspective throughout.
Performances began on April 28 and will run through June 18. Jackman’s pals Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have already stopped by to offer their support.
Creditors — the other play in the mix, which stars Jackman’s former X-Men Origins: Wolverine costar Liev Schreiber — begins on May 10, but also runs through June 18. Ian Rickson directs both plays.
Below, see production pictures, as taken by shutterbug to the stars Emilio Madrid.
