David Wilson Barnes Joins Mullally, Oswalt and Taylor in Lips Together, Teeth Apart

David Wilson Barnes will complete the cast of Roundabout Theatre Company's upcoming revival of Terrence McNally's Lips Together, Teeth Apart. The show, directed by Joe Mantello, begins performances on April 9 at the American Airlines Theatre and opens on April 29. The limited engagement is scheduled to run through June 20.

Barnes will appear as John Haddock opposite previously announced co-stars Megan Mullally (Chloe Haddock), Patton Oswalt (Sam Truman) and Lili Taylor (Sally Truman).

Lips Together, Teeth Apart takes place on the elegant deck of a beach house on Fire Island. During a holiday weekend, a brother and sister and their respective spouses attempt to celebrate the Fourth of July with a gnawing uncertainty that makes their affluent habits and petty prejudices sizzle in the summer sun.

Barnes has appeared on Broadway in The Lieutenant of Inishmore. He was most recently seen last season in Becky Shaw at Second Stage. Additional off-Broadway credits include Lady, St. Crispin's Day, Vengeance, Men Without Shadows, The Square, Hamlet, Jail Bait, Jersey Story, Caucasian Chalk Circle and The Bald Soprano. Television credits include The Good Wife, You Don't Know Jack, The Eastmans, Sex and the City, Law & Order, Conviction, All My Children and As the World Turns. Film credits include Remember Me, Taking Woodstock, The Scene, Capote, How to Seduce Difficult Women and Ozark Savage.

Lips Together, Teeth Apart was a long-running hit for Manhattan Theatre Club, where it opened at City Center Stage I on May 28, 1991, with Nathan Lane as Sam, Swoosie Kurtz as Sally, Christine Baranski as Chloe and Anthony Heald as John. The play ran for 250 performances, then reopened on January 9, 1992, at the Lucille Lortel Theatre where it ran for another six months starring Heald, Hillary Bailey Smith, Roxanne Hart and Jonathan Hadary.
