You can now get a first look at opening night of The Unknown starring Tony, Emmy & SAG Award winning actor Sean Hayes. The new one-man play is written by award-winning playwright David Cale and directed by Tony Award nominee Leigh Silverman.

Previews for The Unknown began January 31 at Studio Seaview. The production officially opened on February 12 for a strictly limited 10-week engagement through April 12.

The Unknown is a gripping new play about a writer on the edge. Desperate to cure his writer’s block, Elliott retreats to a remote cabin—only to discover he may not be alone. As the boundaries between his work and his life collapse, Elliott begins to question everything he knows. Is he writing a thriller? Living one? Both? The Unknown is a provocative thriller that explores the fine line between fascination and obsession.
