Norbert Leo Butz and Elizabeth Marvel currently star in MCC Theatre's world premiere of Michael Weller's Fifty Words Off-Broadway.

Austin Pendleton directs the limited run at the Lucille Lortel.

"Something's gone very wrong behind the idyllic façade of Jan and Adam's Brooklyn brownstone," read press notes for the two-character piece. "At 9:10 PM, they're reveling in the freedom of having waved off their young son, Greg, to a neighborhood sleepover. By 9:15 PM, they're both in tears. By 9:25 PM, things are way past tears."

Here is a look at the production:
