Julianna Margulies and Paul Rudd will team up for a one-night-only benefit reading of Neil LaBute’s play The Mercy Seat.
MCC Theater said Thursday the reading will be held June 17 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Tickets are available from $75-$250 (Dh275-Dh918).
The Mercy Seat is set on the day after the 9/11 attacks in which a World Trade Centre worker contemplates using the tragedy to run away and start a new life with his lover.
Margulies, the star of The Good Wife, last appeared on an MCC stage in 2002’s Intrigue with Faye. Rudd, of Anchorman fame, was on Broadway this season in Grace.
The event celebrates theatre’s collaboration with LaBute, who had seven plays produced here over the last decade, including this spring’s Reasons to Be Happy.
