I believe Larson's sole stage credit to date is Emily in Our Town at Williamstown in 2010. I saw that production and thought she was solid, if not magical. I knew her at the time from United States of Tara. She's impressed me since in other films -- this could be interesting.

Boy was I surprised to see that this WON'T be directed by Jamie Lloyd, Ivo, or Rob Icke!

Curious to see how Daniel Fish does with this, as I really only know him from Oklahoma.

Very possible. This is the same producer as PRIMA FACIE and the West End transfer of SLAVE PLAY.

If it's well received, this could also be a good career boost for Larson, whose career hasn't quite taken off in the way it should have after ROOM: A bad Marvel movie that sold well, an awful Marvel movie that sold poorly, some thankless supporting roles, a directorial debut, a decently-received attempt at a TV series, etc.

I've heard this already has a theatre lined up for a Fall transfer after she films the next Avengers movies...

Transfer talks are interesting for this (and i guess every show has to have a transfer rumor now) since Inhavent spoken to one person who enjoyed it. I’m seeing it in a couple weeks but kind of dreading it, at this point.
