NEW YORK, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Rosie Perez and David Hyde Pierce are to star in the world premiere production of Molly Smith Metzler's "Close Up Space," Manhattan Theatre Club officials said.

Directed by Leigh Silverman, the play's limited engagement is to start previews Dec. 1, with an opening night planned for Dec. 19 at MTC at Manhattan's New York City Center.

The show's cast will also include Jessica DiGiovanni, Colby Minifie and Michael Chernus.

Pierce plays Paul Barrow, an obsessive book editor on a major deadline.

"With an assistant who's been camping in the office, a famous author threatening to bail on him and an intern who is no help at all, Paul's just about had it! But when his fiery daughter shows up and lambasts him in Russian, Paul faces a glaring personal error that can't be corrected with red ink," a synopsis of the plays said.

Pierce's stage credits include "Curtains" and "Spamalot."

Perez has appeared in the plays "The Ritz," "Reckless,"

"The Play What I Wrote" and "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune."
