SPEED THE PLOW Previews Oct. 3 at the Belasco

And the press release still has misinformation.

---

The play will star Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Jeremy Piven (“Entourage”, Fat Pig) as ambitious producer Charlie Fox and three-time Tony-nominee Raúl Esparza (The Homecoming, Company, Taboo) as film production exec Bobby Gould.

It's the other way around.

You missed his episode, clearly.

Raul is playing Charlie. Jeremy Piven is playing Bobby.

That would be more coincidental than ironic.

Sorry, the misuse of irony has long been a pet peeve.

Irony
1.
a. The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
b. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
c. A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect. See Synonyms at wit1.
2.
a. Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs: "Hyde noted the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated" Richard Kain.
b. An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity. See Usage Note at ironic.
3. Dramatic irony.
4. Socratic irony.

How? Please explain...There is no contrast or incongruity in your statement. He'd be playing another Bobby...that's all.
