Tony Nominee Marin Ireland & More to Star in Maple and Vine at Playwrights Horizons

Tony nominee Marin Ireland (Reasons to be Pretty, After Miss Julie, Three Sisters, Blasted) is among the complete cast for Playwrights Horizons’ forthcoming New York premiere of Jordan Harrison’s Maple and Vine. Directed by Anne Kauffman, the play will begin previews at the company's Mainstage Theater on November 19 and open on December 7, running through December 23.

In addition to Ireland, the cast will include Louis Ozawa Changchien (Year Zero, Predators), Trent Dawson (The Herbal Bed), Pedro Pascal (Some Men, Old Comedy) and Jeanine Serralles (Stunning, The Misanthrope, The Black Eyed).

In Maple and Vine, Katha (Ireland) and Ryu (Changchien) have become allergic to their 21st-century lives. After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s re-enactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. In this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neighbors—and they themselves—are willing to sacrifice for happiness.

Maple and Vine will feature scenic design by Alexander Dodge, costume design by Ilona Somogyi, lighting design by David Weiner and sound design by Bray Poor.
