New York City
The mind-bending play about memory and identity makes its American premiere this spring.
The cast and creative team of Incognito, written by Manhattan Theatre Club veteran Nick Payne (Constellations), met the press on their first week of rehearsals for the play's American premiere.
The four-person production stars Charlie Cox (Daredevil), Heather Lind (Of Good Stock), Tony nominee Geneva Carr (Hand to God), and Morgan Spector (Ironbound), who perform a total of 21 characters throughout Payne's nonlinear narrative.
Directed by Toyn Award winner Doug Hughes (The Father), the play asks whether memory and identity are nothing but illusions as a pathologist steals the brain of Albert Einstein, a neuropsychologist embarks on her first romance with another woman, and a seizure patient forgets everything but how much he loves his girlfriend.
The show's creative team includes Scott Pask (scenic design), Catherine Zuber (costume design), Ben Stanton (lighting design), David Van Tieghem (original music & sound design), and J. David Brimmer (fight director).
Performances begin May 3 at New York City Center – Stage I in advance of a May 24 opening.
