Having Patrick Page do one of his "dramatic lyric readings" of Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand is a VERY clever marketing move for this one.

I was already in for Patrick Page, but Kristine Nielsen? Yes please
I saw this at the Mark Taper Forum several years ago. What I remember most is Patrick Page's complete command of the stage. I have an interest in late 19th century and early 20th century European royalty; therefore, I was definitely the audience for this. I'll be anxious to read the opinions posted on this board.

As someone else pointed out, he originated the role he'll be playing during the world premiere run at the Mark Taper in L.A. in 2017. So I'm sure they were happy he was able to return to the role but it's not as if they picked his name out of a hat.
I caught this at Theatreworks Silicon Valley pre-pandemic (sans Patrick Page), and REALLY liked the play. It's a fascinating and disturbing look at radicalization; I'm excited to see it hit NY. Kristine Nielsen and Patrick Page are both incredibly well cast in this.
