Alex Timbers Will Direct World Premiere of Robert Askins' Permission Off-Broadway

Tony nominee Alex Timbers will direct Robert Askins’ new comedy, Permission. As previously reported, the MCC world premiere will begin performances on April 29, 2015 and run through June 7 at off-Broadway’s Lucille Lortel Theatre.

Permission tells the story of a couple who decide to follow the leads of their friends and make Christian Domestic Discipline the foundation of their marriage. The new moral code upends everything they knew about one another, their friends and more importantly, who really holds the paddle.

The MCC 2014-15 season also includes Simon Stephens’ Punk Rock, which is set to begin performances on October 29, as well as The Nether by Jennifer Haley, beginning in February.
