In Modern Orthodox, a young NYC couple is in search of wedded bliss and a way to get rid of the diamond dealer who has taken over their lives. The last reading of the play featured Biggs, Rachel Dratch, Dan Futterman and Sarah Jessica Parker, but only Biggs is currently set to take place in the full-scale mounting.
Modern Orthodox, directed by James Lapine, is scheduled to begin performances on November 11 in preparation for a December 6 opening.
