  • Mary-Louise Parker Heading Back to Broadway This Fall in “Heisenberg”

    Mary-Louise Parker, known for her role on Weeds and in films including Fried Green Tomatoes, is headed back to Broadway this fall in Heisenberg, what Variety describes as a Broadway transfer of an off-Broadway play.

    Playing the role of a woman whose unexpected relationship with a considerably older man (she is 33 to his 75) leads to an uncertain future, Mary-Louise Parker–joined by Denis Arndt–is reprising her role she first played in the play’s world premiere last year.

    Parker isn’t new to Broadway. She won a Tony Award in 2001 for her role in Proof. She also appeared on Broadway in Hedda Gabler, The Snow Geese, and Reckless.

    Mary-Louise Parker–at 51–has run the gamut of captivating roles in film, on TV, and on the stage. She most recently played the role of Raymond “Red” Reddington’s (played by James Spader) ex-wife Naomi Hyland on the hit NBC show The Blacklist for four episodes.
