Marisa Tomei will star in the premiere of Will Eno’s “Oh the Humanity and Other Good Intentions,” at the Off Broadway Flea Theater. Previews will begin Nov. 3 for a Nov. 29 opening.

Tomei will star opposite Brian Hutchison in the collection of five short plays by Eno, who was a 2005 Pulitzer finalist for his play Thom Pain (based on nothing).

Tomei won a best supporting actress Oscar in 1992 for her role in My Cousin Vinny as Mona Lisa Vito, the girlfriend of a trial lawyer who famously stomped her leg to emphasize the tic-toc of her biological clock. Classic scene. We just hope she won’t have to wear any floral, open-backed cat suits in any of Eno’s plays.

According to the press release,

OH THE HUMANITY and other good intentions is five short plays about people like you, facing lives like yours. About life, in a word. Not suitable for children.
