Wolverine: Origins stars Hugh Jackman and Liev Schrieber are preparing to collaborate on two Off-Broadway stage plays.

Per Deadline, Schrieber has signed on to star in one of two plays which will also star Jackman, Ella Beatty, Maggie Siff, and Justice Smith. The plays are being produced via Jackman’s new theatrical partnership with producer Sonia Friedman, Together, in collaboration with Audible. Jackman will star opposite Beatty in Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, while Schreiber will star alongside Siff and Smith in Creditors. Both plays are being directed by Ian Rickson, and will be performed in Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre Off-Broadway.

Daredevil: Born Again officially surpasses its predecessor’s worst Rotten Tomatoes score following the release of episodes five and six.

“The Minetta Lane is a gem of a theater with a rich history, and over the past seven years, Audible has re-established it as a crucial center for top-tier productions, and a shining example of Off-Broadway excellence,” Jackman and Friedman said in a joint statement. “Adding to that, their innovative model of producing work on stage and in audio, it was clear to us and director Ian Rickson that launching our first Together venture with Audible was a perfect match.”

“What makes this collaboration even more meaningful is our shared belief in access and audience development: 25% of tickets to every performance will be free to community groups through our collaboration with TDF, and another 25% will be available day-of for just $35 – an unprecedented effort to honor the audience of today while building the audience of tomorrow, by welcoming people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend,” the statement continued.

Audible Head of Live Creative Producing Jeremy Blocker said of the venture, “Audible Theater is proud to be a home for creators to imagine outside the bounds of traditional models, and we’re honored to collaborate with the team at Together who are doing just that. We’re both devoted to connecting talented artists with audiences in intimate spaces like the Minetta. With TDF, we’re excited to ensure that every audience at the theater reflects the brilliant diversity of our community.”

‘I Have This One Idea’: Brent Spiner Talks Possible Star Trek Return as Data

Star Trek icon Brent Spiner opens up about his own idea for a potential return in a future franchise project and Picard’s TNG reunion episode.

Written by Hannah Moscovitch, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes stars Jackman as Jon, an acclaimed novelist and university professor whose third marriage is on the verge of collapse when he meets Annie, portrayed by Beatty, a 19-year-old student and adoring fan of Jon’s work. Per the official synopsis for the play, “an undeniable attraction draws them into dangerous territory.”

Creditors, adapted by Jen Silverman from August Strindberg’s 1889 thriller Fordringsägare, follows Aldi, a struggling artist who finds a fast friendship with Gustav, a man as enigmatic as he is charismatic. When Gustav takes an interest in Aldi’s wife, Tekla, “talk into the night devolves into an intricate web of deception, seduction and revelation, where the lives of all involved may be destroyed or transformed.”

Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes will run from April 18 through June 18. Creditors is currently slated to run from May 10 until June 18.
