Take a First Look at Jesse Eisenberg in His New Off-Broadway Comedy Asuncion

Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg is currently taking the stage at off-Broadway's Rattlestick Theatre Company in his self-penned play, Asuncion. Eisenberg stars as Edgar, a socially awkward former college student living with his former T.A (Justin Bartha). Edgar's brother (Remy Auberjonois) shows up unannounced at their dump of an apartment with his new wife, Asuncion (Camille Mana), asking if the pair can harbor his bride for a few days with no questions asked. When Edgar forms a theory that his new sister-in-law might be a sex worker, he begins a hilariously neurotic search to uncover the truth. Intrigued? Broadway.com has your first look at photos from the production. Check out our gallery, then head to the Cherry Lane Theatre, where Asuncion officially opens on October 27.
