Mark Brokaw directs the Keith Bunin play, which opens at PH's Mainstage June 20.
"Hannah (Christine Lahti), a minister and bible scholar, finds her faith at odds with that of Thomas, her estranged, wayward son (Luke MacFarlane)," according to PH. "But when an inquisitive young writer (Hamish Linklater) hired to assist Hannah with her latest publication learns painful secrets from Hannah's past, she spies a risky, unconventional opportunity for reconciliation."
The production will feature scenic design by Allen Moyer, costume design by Michael Krass, lighting design by M.L. Geiger and sound design and original music by Lewis Flinn. Production stage manager will be David Sugarman.
Keith Bunin penned The Credeaux Canvas and The World Over, both at Playwrights Horizons.
