‘Star Wars’: Adam Driver Says J.J. Abrams’ Original Vision For Kylo Ren Was Completely Changed

The official synopsis: On learning of his mother’s death, country music icon Strings McCrane (Driver) finds himself in an existential tailspin. The only way out, he decides, is to abandon superstardom in favor of the simple life, so he moves back to his hometown in Tennessee. The simple life turns out to be anything but simple in this brilliantly observed tragicomedy, as the consequences of Strings’ success and mind-bending effects of his fame prove all but impossible to outrun.

Driver made his Broadway debut in Mrs. Warren’s Profession ( 2010) and returned in the following year for Man and Boy . He most recently performed on Broadway in 2019’s Burn This. Off Broadway credits include Angels in America and Look Back in Anger .

Off Broadway’s Lortel is on a roll: Last year, Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott broke house box office records with their sold-out production of John Patrick Shanley’s Danny and the Deep Blue Sea . Other recent productions include sold out engagements of Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My Show and Cole Escola’s Oh, Mary! now appearing on Broadway.
