The two have joined an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters” for New York Theatre Workshop in Manhattan, according to the company’s announcement Tuesday. 

Staging the Chekhov production is Tony award-winning Sam Gold, who directed Isaac in the title role of “Hamlet” and Gerwig in “The Village Bike.” The play details life in a Russian town through the eyes of the Prozorov sisters. After their father dies and just as the Imperial Army take their post in the town, the sisters yearn to return to Moscow to escape their dull lives in the small town.

Gerwig was Oscar-nominated for Lady Bird and she recently wrapped production on her second directorial project, Little Women, starring Saoirse Ronin, Meryl Streep, Timothée Chalamet, Laura Dern, Eliza Scanlen and Florence Pugh.

Isaac is best known for his roles in films such as X-Men: Apocalypse and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The production is expected to close the New York Theater Workshop’s 2019/20 season.

Silverman, who took the stage alongside fellow stand-up comedian Mike Birbiglia at a Tribeca Talks Monday, confirmed that she has a musical on the way and that it will premiere this year.

The musical is based on her 2010 memoir The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee will show off-Broadway at The Atlantic Theatre Company in New York City.

“It’s a musical. I’m not in it,” said Silverman who added a short description of its theme: “it’s the year I’m 10 (years old).”

According to Variety, Silverman is working with songwriter Adam Schlesinger on the production. 

“He read the book and he came over and he just said, ‘This is a play! This is a musical!’” Silverman said. “The first chapter is called Cursed From the Start. Cursed From the Start! That’s a line!’”
