Scott Rudin is returning to Broadway after allegations of abusive behavior derailed the producer’s career.

Rudin and Barry Diller will produce Samuel D. Hunter’s new play Little Bear Ridge Road, which will run for a limited 18-week run this fall.

The tale is set on the outskirts of a small Idaho town and follows an aunt and her long-estranged nephew as they are tasked with selling a crumbling house.

Oscar-nominee Laurie Metcalf and Micah Stock, who played the same roles at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, will star in the production, directed by Joe Mantello.
My Pioneering Oscar Book:
It marks the Broadway debut of Hunter, who wrote the play The Whale and adapted it into an Oscar-winning film for Brandon Fraser, under the direction of Darren Aronofsky.
Performances will begin on Oct. 7 ahead of opening night on Oct. 30 at Broadway’s Booth Theatre.
