The production will begin previews at the Newhouse Oct. 16 with an official opening Nov. 10. A spokesperson for Lincoln Center Theater confirmed that Nicholas Martin, the new artistic director of the Williamstown Theatre Festival and director of LCT's The New Century, will helm the production. Saturn Returns will run through Jan. 4, 2009. Haidle's play concerns a radiologist named Gustin, who is depicted by three different actors at various times in his life: at the age of 28, 58 and 88. The work explores Gustin's relationships with three different women — his wife Loretta, his daughter Zephyr and his nurse Suzanne — all played by the same actress.

No casting has been announced.
