Buried at the end of this article is a confirmation from Scott Rudin that another Metcalf/Mantello play is coming this year. https://people.com/julia-roberts-returning-to-broadway-20-years-after-debut-12111579

Truly bananas that Mantello would be able to stage three new Broadway productions in the same season. I happen to think he's one of our best directors (I know opinion is divided on that front), but...literally, how would he even have the time? I assume this would be the David Hare play Montauk that was mentioned in the big NYT article on Rudin, but...who knows!

Montauk is already announced as Laura Linney and Daniel Sullivan, not Metcalf and Mantello.
I would guess it's whatever the "unannounced Broadway play" that had an audition notice out recently with a role for a woman in their 60's with an offer out.

Montauk is happening at MTC, Rudin is no longer involved due to creative differences. I’m wandering if it’s the new Bruce Norris play Cottonfield

COTTONFIELD was being directed by Robert O'Hara. I understand the play has a lot to do with race, so that would make more sense than Mantello directing...
