A Month in the Country, Starring TV Favorites Peter Dinklage & Taylor Schilling, Extends Off-Broadway Run

The off-Broadway production of A Month in the Country, starring Game of Thrones’s Peter Dinklage and Orange Is the New Black headliner Taylor Schilling, has extended its run. The Classic Stage Company mounting will now play through February 28—it had originally been scheduled to end on February 22. The production is directed by Erica Schmidt (Dinklage’s wife).

Ivan Turgenev’s iconic play chronicles the comic and erotic turmoil that befalls an otherwise quiet country estate when a handsome young tutor arrives to teach Natalya Petrovna's (Schilling) young son. But it is Natalya who soon becomes interested in a tutelage of another kind, much to the consternation of her husband and her long suffering friend, Rakitin (Dinklage), who is hopelessly and secretly smitten with her.

In addition to Dinklage and Schilling, the cast includes Anthony Edwards, Annabella Sciorra, Elizabeth Franz, Peter Appel, Ian Etheridge, Mike Faist, James Joseph O’Neil, Elizabeth Ramos, Thomas Jay Ryan, Frank Van Putten and Megan West.
