MCC Theater has announced that film and television star Robin Tunney (The Mentalist) will make her stage debut opposite the previously announced Zachary Quinto in the New York premiere of Noah Haidle's Smokefall. Anne Kauffman directs the drama, which runs from February 4-March 13 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Smokefall had its world premiere at Chicago's Goodman Theatre.

Mr. Quinto’s casting was announced in October. In this play, he is Fetus Two alongside Brian Hutchison (“Pocatello”) as Fetus One. Together they pass their time in the womb discussing philosophy. Their mother, Violet, will be played by Ms. Tunney in her stage debut.



* The play is described as follows: 




New York Premiere
SMOKEFALL 
by Noah Haidle
directed by Anne Kauffman
Magical realism collides with manic vaudeville in a family drama unlike any you've ever seen. The Twins swap philosophy while awaiting their birth, Beauty eats dirt and doesn't speak, Father is about to drive away and never return, and a man named Footnote acts as our guide. Whipping from astonishing tenderness to profound humor and back again, this wholly original play uncovers the extraordinary family connections we all stretch and warp across the years but can never quite break.

I've received today Robin's answer to the Fans Book I've sent her last February! And she also included a special gift with the message, the cross chain Lisbon used to wear during Season 1! I can't express how awesome that is, it's like holding the most wonderful treasure in my hands! I will not thank Robin enough for her sweet message, and for the wonderful gift. You are awesome Robin!! I hope Robin's wrist will heal very soon, and I appreciate even more that she took time to write something despite that! Get well soon Robin! ♥ The Message: "Maria, Thank you for the beautiful book! My wrist is broken so I cannot write much. I have procured Lisbon's cross from season 1 for you as a token of my appreciation. Lots of love! xx Robin."

Four teenage girls at a Catholic prep school form a coven of witches to strike back at their peers and use their newfound sorcery for personal gain. At the end of the second millennium, Satan visits New York City in search of a bride to bear the Antichrist—over Arnold Schwarzenegger’s dead body. The connecting thread between Empire Records, The Craft, and End of Days is of course Robin Tunney, who hit it big in the late ‘90s and has grown to show as much longevity in her career as the select films from her body of work—cult phenoms, if not cultural touchstones by some measure. Now most widely recognized for her seven-year tenure on The Mentalist, which ended its run in 2015, the actress is teaming up with Nicolas Cage in Tim Hunter’s Looki...
