NEW YORK, June 5 (UPI) -- Debra Winger is to make her Broadway debut in David Mamet's new play "The Anarchist" this fall, producers announced Tuesday.

Previews are to begin Nov. 13 and opening night is set for Dec. 2, said producers Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, and Howard and Janet Kagan.

Winger's previous stage credits include "How I Learned to Drive" and "Ivanov" at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Mass.
