Theresa Rebeck, one of the country's most acclaimed and widely produced playwrights, returns to Primary Stages with her gripping new family drama, Downstairs.

This thrilling production stars real-life siblings Tyne and Tim Daly, appearing together for the first time on a New York stage.

In Downstairs, Teddy is a bit lost and lives in his older sister Irene's unfinished basement to the vexation of her husband Gerry (played by John Procaccino). As Irene and Teddy struggle with this less-than-ideal living arrangement, they quickly find themselves grappling with the burden of their family's troublesome history. While trying to mend the past, the pair unearth a foreboding danger threatening to break the perilously thin bonds holding them together.
