Keira Naughton and Scott Barrow will star in the world premiere of Victor L. Cahn’s Embraceable Me Off-Broadway beginning Oct. 23.

Eric Parness (23 Knives, Reflections) helms the 80-minute two-person work that will officially open Oct. 28 and continue through Nov. 14 at the Kirk Theatre. Rachel Reiner Productions presents the engagement.

Naughton (The Rivals, Three Sisters, Hunting and Gathering) and Barrow (33 Variations) inhabit the work, which is described in press notes as such: "Edward is smart, shy, and quirky. Allison is sexy, dramatic, and vulnerable. Embraceable Me is a witty and touching 'He said-She said' that traces the journey of these unlikely friends along many surprising detours and byways."

The design team for Embraceable Me includes Sarah B. Brown (set design), Carolyn Wong (lighting design), Sidney Shannon (costume design) and Nick Moore (sound design).

For tickets, priced $35, phone (212) 279-4200 or visit TicketCentral. The Kirk Theatre is located at 410 West 42nd Street.
