Philip Roth’s fearlessly filthy, funny and moving novel takes the stage in this new play from Ariel Levy and John Turturro, presented by The New Group.

When his secret life of debauchery comes to a heartbreaking end, disgraced puppet maker Mickey Sabbath plunges into increasingly mad and maddening encounters with people from his wild and wicked past. Part ghost story, part love story, Sabbath’s Theater unleashes Roth’s power to shock and amaze in this profound meditation on mortality and juicy celebration of life.

John Turturro (SeveranceThe Night Of) takes on the title role of Mickey Sabbath. Elizabeth Marvel (HomelandHouse of Cards) plays his mistress, the erotic free-spirit Drenka, and others. Additional roles are played by Jason Kravits (The PracticeOff the Top!). Jo Bonney (Cost of Living) directs.

Published in 1995, Sabbath’s Theater, won that year’s National Book Award and was a finalist for the 1996 Pulitzer Prize.
