The New York premiere of Clare Lizzimore’s play Animal has announced a one-week extension due to popular demand, Atlantic Theater Company announced. The dark comedy began previews May 24 ahead of an official opening June 6, and will now play through July 2.

Leading the cast of the Off-Broadway production is Machinal star and Golden Globe nominee Rebecca Hall, under the direction of Gaye Taylor Upchurch.

Animal is playing at Atlantic Stage 2, located at 330 West 16th Street, New York.

In Lizzimore’s dark comedy, Hall plays Rachel, a wife and successful career woman who seemingly has it all, until she suddenly begins to have visions.
