David Schwimmer heads back to a New York stage in Lisa D’Amour’s ‘Detroit’

By

NEW YORK, N.Y. – David Schwimmer is coming back to the New York stage — by way of “Detroit.”

The former “Friends” star will make his Playwrights Horizons debut this summer in Lisa D’Amour’s play about the tensions lurking under the surface of American life.

He will star opposite Tony Award nominee Amy Ryan.

“Detroit” is set in a suburb of that city and centres on a couple who invite their new neighbours over for a barbecue only to slowly find their friendship veering out of control.

Previews begin Aug. 24.

The play represents Schwimmer’s first return to the New York stage since his Broadway debut in “The Caine Mutiny Court Martial” in 2006. He also directed “Fault Lines” at the Cherry Lane Theatre in 2008.
