Rice’s century-old play about a clerk replaced by a machine — gets a sharp new revision by playwright Thomas Bradshaw, directed by The New Group’s founding artistic director Scott Elliott. Mr. Zero can’t connect with his wife, his work wife, or his own life; when his boss replaces him with a literal adding machine, he lashes out in spectacular, surreal fashion.

Previewed March 24, opened April 14, plays through May 17, 2026. 2 hr 15 min with intermission.

Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes wrapped its return engagement at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre on April 30, 2026 — back by popular demand after a sold-out 2025 New York premiere that earned a Times Critic’s Pick. Award-winning Canadian playwright Hannah Moscovitch’s lean, lacerating two-hander put Hugh Jackman and Ella Beatty on the same small stage as Jon and Annie: he’s an acclaimed novelist and a charismatic university professor staring down the end of his third marriage; she’s nineteen, a star student, and a huge fan of his work. The attraction is undeniable. The territory is dangerous. The play is sharp, fast, and morally precise.
Director Ian Rickson (former artistic director of London’s Royal Court) staged the revival as part of Audible Theater and TOGETHER’s spring 2026 season — the same season that brought us What Happened Was and New Born at the same venue. The production will eventually be released on Audible, so the run is closed but the work isn’t lost.
