NEW YORK, March 3 (UPI) -- Mary-Louise Parker and Kenneth Welsh are to star in the world premiere staging of Heisenberg, New York's Manhattan Theatre Club announced Tuesday.

The new play by two-time Olivier Award-winner Simon Stephens is being directed by Drama Desk Award-winner Mark Brokaw. The strictly limited, six-week engagement for Heisenberg will begin previews May 19, with an official opening set for June 3. "Amidst the bustle of a crowded London train station, Clare spots Alex, a much older man, and plants a kiss on his neck," a synopis said. "This electric encounter thrusts these two strangers into a fascinating and life-changing game."
