David Duchovny to Make Stage Debut in LaBute Play

By DAVE ITZKOFF

Over the course of David Duchovny’s acting career his characters have gone to some unusual places, from the alien environs of ”The X-Files” to many a Los Angeles bedroom on ”Californication.”

But there is one place Mr. Duchovny has never been: on the stage in a professional capacity. (”Not professional,” he said in a telephone interview. ”Very unprofessional.”)

That’s about to change. On Wednesday, MCC Theater said Mr. Duchovny would make his proper stage debut in its coming production of ”The Break of Noon,” a new play by Neil LaBute.

Mr. Duchovny, who is in Los Angeles wrapping up a new season of ”Californication,” said he has previously acted ”Off, off, off, off — as many off’s as you can put in front of Broadway.” He added: ”I’ve never done anything close to this scale.”

When he first began acting in New York, Mr. Duchovny said, he could occasionally be found in theaters, taking part in a familiar rite of passage.
”In L.A., they’re called showcases,” he said. ”In New York, nobody comes to see them so you can’t really call them showcases.”

He has since appeared more often in film and television roles, but he said he had been won over by Mr. LaBute’s script for ”The Break of Noon,” which Mr. Duchovny called ”fascinating and moving and original, and intimidating in many ways.”

The play, which will be directed by Jo Bonney, is to begin performances at the Lucille Lortel Theater on Oct. 28. It is a co-production with the Geffen Playhouse, which will present it in Los Angeles next year.

”The Break of Noon” is described in a news release as centering on a character called John Smith (played by Mr. Duchovny) who ”amidst the chaos and horror of the worst office shooting in American history, sees the face of God,” setting off a ”maelstrom of disbelief among everyone he knows.”

”The setup is grim, of course,” Mr. Duchovny said, ”but there’s certainly some darker, absurd, humorous moments. It tends towards the spiritual and the human. It’s a very surprising play, with a very surprising stance on tragedy.”

Also, having recently resumed living in New York, Mr. Duchovny said: ”I just thought, well, I can stay home and work if I do the theater. That would be a really nice schedule to try. I remember reading this article about Matthew Broderick riding his bike to the theater and it just sounded very romantic to me.”

Asked if he could survive the New York stage, which has been known to make mincemeat of cable-television stars, Mr. Duchovny said: ”Who knows? I don’t think of myself as a TV actor. I think of myself as a film, television and Off-Off-Off-Off Broadway actor.”

”Certainly,” he added, ”I wouldn’t succeed at musical theater."

В двух словах. Дэвид сыграет в новой пьесе Нила ЛаБута "Дневной перерыв" персонажа по имени Джон Смит, который в хаосе жутких офисных будней видит лицо Бога, погружаясь, в итоге, в пучину недоверия ко всем, кого он знает.
Надеюсь, я все правильно поняла. Если есть поправки, не стесняйтесь.
Премьера спектакля назначена на 28 октября 2010 года в театре Lucille Lortel.


Я в шоке. Все, что угодно, но ни в жисть бы не подумала, что Дэвида понесет на сцену. Судя по его словам, он сам в немалом удивлении, язва такая "Off-Off-Off-Off Broadway actor"

David Duchovny Makes Stage Debut In MCC's THE BREAK OF NOON

MCC Theater (Robert LuPone, Bernard Telsey, rtistic Directors; William Cantler, Associate Artistic Director; Blake West, Executive Director) today announced that David Duchovny ("The X-Files," "Californication") will make his New York stage debut in the world premiere production of Neil LaBute's The Break of Noon, directed by Jo Bonney, a co-production with the Geffen Playhouse. Rehearsals begin September 28, and performances in New York will begin at the Lucille Lortel Theatre (121 Christopher Street, NYC) on October 28. Mr. Duchovny will be performing in the New York portion of the run; casting for Los Angeles will be announced at a later date.

In LaBute's newest play, Mr. Duchovny will star as John Smith, a man who, amidst the chaos and horror of the worst office shooting in American history, sees the face of God. His modern-day revelation creates a maelstrom of disbelief among everyone he knows. A newcomer to faith, John urgently searches for a modern response to the age-old question: at what cost salvation?

David Duchovny was born and raised in New York City. He attended Princeton University, where he played one season as shooting guard on the school's basketball team, received his Masters Degree in English Literature from Yale, and was on the road to earning his Ph.D. when he caught the acting bug.
Duchovny emerged to become one of the most highly acclaimed actors in Hollywood. Duchovny starred alongside Demi Moore in the April release of the film The Joneses, which premiered at last year's Toronto Film Festival. He is filming the fourth season of Showtime's hit "Californication," for which he won the Golden Globe in January 2008 for Best Actor in a Comedy Series. Duchovny became the only actor in Globe history to win for both a drama and comedy series. He also received Golden Globe nominations for the second and third seasons of series and a SAG nomination for season two. Duchovny is one of the show's executive producers.
From 1993-2002, Duchovny starred in Fox Television's monster hit "The X-Files," which earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series and two nominations for an Emmy for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series. He was also nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his highly acclaimed appearances on "Life With Bonnie" and "The Larry Sanders Show." Additionally, he has been nominated for three Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Drama Series, five Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series and a TV Critics Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. The press and the public agree that Duchovny brings a fierce intellect, a quiet intensity and an acerbic wit to his roles on both the small screen and the silver screen.
Duchovny's remarkable performance on "The X-Files" earned him the title of "Zeitgeist Icon" by Laura Jacobs of The New Republic and "the first Internet sex symbol with hair" by Maureen Dowd of The New York Times.
Duchovny added the role of director to his already extensive list of accomplishments when he wrote, directed and starred in two critically acclaimed episodes of "The X-Files," titled "The Unnatural," which starred Jesse L. Martin, and "Hollywood A.D.," starring Garry Shandling and Téa Leoni.
Duchovny's passion for renegade films brought him critical acclaim for his performances in the feature films Kalifornia, in which he costarred with Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis; the controversial film The Rapture, directed by Michael Tolkin, in which Duchovny starred opposite Mimi Rogers; and Julia Has Two Lovers, in which he turned in a much heralded performance as a telephone hustler.
Duchovny played Roland "Rollie" Totheroh, Charlie Chaplin's longtime confidante and cameraman, in the Sir Richard Attenborough directed Chaplin, with Robert Downey, Jr. in the title role; and starred in the smash hit Beethoven, opposite Charles Grodin.
His feature credits include the action-comedy Evolution, opposite JuliAnne Moore, the romantic-comedy Return To Me, directed by Bonnie Hunt, The X-Files: Fight The Future, and Playing God, with Timothy Hutton and Angelina Jolie. Duchovny appeared in Ben Stiller's film Zoolander (a hilariously funny unbilled cameo performance).
Still recognized for his role as Dennis/Denise Bryson, the transvestite detective in David Lynch's breakthrough television series "Twin Peaks," Duchovny also spent four seasons as the impassioned narrator of "Red Shoe Diaries," which began as a feature length telefilm for Showtime.
In 2002, he starred in the Miramax ensemble comedy Full Frontal, for director Steven Soderbergh, co-starring Julia Roberts, George Clooney and David Hyde Pierce. Duchovny has made brief returns to television, first appearing in good friend Bonnie Hunt's show, "Life With Bonnie," in which he guest starred as over-the-top weatherman Johnny Volcano, (for which he was nominated for an Emmy in 2003). Following that, he made a memorable appearance on "Sex in the City," as an ex-flame of Sarah Jessica Parkers' Carrie Bradshaw.
Duchovny made his feature directorial debut in 2005 with House of D, which he also wrote and appeared in. The film, which starred Robin Williams and Anton Yelchin, vividly captured the spirit of youth in all its joy and heartbreak.
He also starred in Trust the Man, a romantic comedy in which he starred with JuliAnne Moore, and The TV Set, directed by Jake Kasdan. Never one to slow down, he was still active behind the camera directing an episode of the Fox television series "Bones" starring David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel.
Duchovny appeared in the feature films Things We Lost in the Fire, opposite Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro; and The Secret, directed by Vincent Perez and produced by Luc Besson.
In the summer of 2008, he appeared in The X-Files: I Want to Believe, the follow up to the X-Files Movie, in which he reprises his role as agent Fox Mulder.

The Break of Noon

by Neil LaBute
directed by Jo Bonney

The Break of Noon marks Neil LaBute’s seventh collaboration with MCC Theater as Playwright-in-Residence, following the 2009 Tony Award-nominated Best Play, Reasons to be Pretty. Renowned for his darkly-comic morality plays (The Shape of Things, In a Dark Dark House), he teams up again with longtime collaborator, director Jo Bonney (Some Girl(s), Fat Pig), for this exploration of the daunting, sometimes harrowing process of “finding religion.”

Amidst the chaos and horror of the worst office shooting in American history, John Smith sees the face of God. His modern-day revelation creates a maelstrom of disbelief among everyone he knows. A newcomer to faith, John urgently searches for a modern response to the age-old question: at what cost salvation?

A co-production with the Geffen Playhouse.

Фигасе вообще! Класс! Спасип, Mon, за новости!

[Triny]

Мамочки...
Спасибо за такие новости... Так это же совсем-совсем скоро!
... Трин ещё не успел проснуться, а уже думает, как добраться до НЙ... Вплавь?...

Интересно что это будет... Описание напоминает Рапчу

[Helga]

Ничего себе новости! Вот неожиданность...
Интересно, мы как-нибудь сможем углядеть такое счастье?

Спасибо, Monday!

[Monday]

Думаю, все будет так, как и в случае с Джилл Урывками, ошметками и все такое... Но в данном случае, я согласна хоть на что-нибудь Если товарищи в NYC протупят, то в следующем году будет возможность наверстать все в LA

[Triny]

Чесслово, с утра пытаюсь переварить эту инфу, но пока не выходит. Мне как-то казалось, что Дэвид и театральная сцена в принципе несовместимы... А вообще обалденно, конечно! И никуда ездить не надо, семья всегда рядом

[Triny]

Ладно, а сюжет каков? Пошёл "офисный работник" на перерыв, и тут началась пальба. Скукожился где-нить в уголке, может молился, чтобы пуля не задела. И "прозрел". Причём, у него своя концепция веры, а окружающие его люди, которые верят "по канону", руками разводят и начинают сомневаться

[Fenix]

Неожиданные и замечательные новости
Большое спасибо за новости и огромное спасибо за перевод, Monday!
