Early Buzz: Annapurna
Real-life wife and husband, Megan Mullally (TV: Will and Grace) and Nick Offerman (TV: Parks and Recreation) are set to take the stage together in The New Group’s Annapurna, written by Sharr White and directed by Bart DeLorenzo. Mullally, an Emmy winner and New York stage regular, and Offerman play a couple separated for 20 years that reunite deep the Colorado woods upon news of the husband’s dire sickness.
Annapurna premiered at the Magic Theater in San Francisco in 2011. Mullally, Offerman, and director DeLorenzo helmed a sold-out run of the play at the Odyssey Theatre Ensemble in Los Angeles in 2013, which the critics loved: The Los Angeles Times said it was “a lovely theatrical construct from the ground up,” and Variety praised the actors’ performance, calling Offerman “breathtaking in several ways.”
The New Group production has a limited engagement in New York City starting April 13 through June 1.

The Hollywood Reporter
Attentively detailed production and performances go far to obscure the superficialities of an overly determined play.

A performance that’s breathtaking in several ways
Los Angeles Theater Review
Annapurna gives us the perfect opportunity to eavesdrop on a troubled couple who are simply searching for answers before the clock runs out.
