Academy Award-nominee />Ed Harris/> stars in the US premiere of Wrecks, a new play written and directed by Neil LaBute that opened at the Public Theater on October 10th.  It will play an extended run through November 19th.

"Two of America's most exciting artists team up to create a theatrical tour de force in this new solo work. In true LaBute fashion, Wrecks promises to thrill, surprise and challenge your assumptions about love, family and marriage. This production marks Harris' first appearance on the New York stage in a decade," state Public Theater notes. Wrecks, by the author of such plays as Some Girl(s), This Is How It Goes and Fat Pig, was first produced at Everyman Palace Theatre in Cork, Ireland

Harris, who has received Academy Award nominations for The Hours, Pollock, The Truman Show and Apollo 13, recently made his European stage debut in Wrecks' premiere in Ireland.  He has been seen on Broadway in Taking Sides and Precious Sons, for which he received a Tony nomination, and Off-Broadway in Fool for Love, for which he received an Obie Award.  Other film credits include A History of Violence, The Human Stain, A Beautiful Mind and The Right Stuff, as well as the miniseries "Empire Falls."
