Manhattan Theatre Club celebrates the official opening of Richard Bean's The Nap September 27. The new comedy, directed by Daniel Sullivan, is playing in the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre where previews began September 5.

In The Nap, Dylan Spokes (Ben Schnetzer), a fast-rising young snooker star arrives for a championship tournament only to be confronted by the authorities with a warning about match fixing. Before he knows it, he is forced into underhanded dealings with a cast of eccentric characters that include his ex-convict dad (John Ellison Conlee), his mother (Johanna Day), a quick-tongued manager (Max Gordon Moore), and a renowned gangster (Alexandra Billings).
