Producers Seaview and ATG Productions are thrilled to announce that Tony, Emmy & SAG Award winning actor Sean Hayes will return to the New York stage in THE UNKNOWN, a new one-man play by acclaimed and award-winning playwright David Cale, directed by Tony Award nominee Leigh Silverman.​

​

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.
