Montauk is a visceral portrait of two artists with violently different approaches to art and life. Jared Speight is a stubborn titan of Long Island abstraction when star writer Roxy Margaux first becomes infatuated with his bravado. But over a decade of romantic and career entanglements, their different reasons for making art become painfully clear. The play was originally announced as a production by Scott Rudin with Laurie Metcalf to star.
“Laura Linney is one of the most versatile actors of our time,” said Artistic Director Nicki Hunter. “Her artistry, intelligence, and generosity make her the ideal partner for this brand-new initiative for MTC. We are thrilled to welcome her in this expanded capacity, cementing a commitment to working together in the future, and to collaborate on David Hare’s Montauk, directed by Daniel Sullivan. We’re proud to be giving this play its world premiere on Broadway.”
“I could not be more proud to be Manhattan Theatre Club’s first Artist-in-Residence,” Linney commented. “MTC has been my theatrical home for decades, and I feel very honored indeed to kick off this new position. Thank you, Nicki and Lynne!”

Desk Awards,” said Marla Mindelle. “At the Drama Desk Awards, scrappy basement musicals can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest shows on Broadway. That’s the room I always want to be in, girlfriend. I promise to behave — mostly.”“Marla is one of the great theatrical inventions of this generation — a writer, performer, and host with the wit, warmth, and timing this anniversary deserves,” said David Barbour and Charles Wright, Co-Presidents of the Drama Desk organization. “For seventy years the Drama Desks have been a broad tent, recognizing excellence on every scale and in every form. Marla embodies that spirit. We can’t wait to see her in front of a Town Hall full of the artists she loves.”...
