The new Michael Jacobs play Impressionism — starring Tony winners Joan Allen and Jeremy Irons — will play its final performance at Broadway's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre May 10.

When it closes, the production will have played 23 previews and 56 regular performances.

Directed by Jack O’Brien, the cast also features Marsha Mason, André De Shields, Michael T. Weiss, Aaron Lazar, Margarita Levieva and Hadley Delany.

The play opened March 24 following previews that began Feb. 28. The limited engagement was originally scheduled to run through July 5.

The play is billed as being about an international photojournalist and a New York gallery owner "who discover each other and also that there might be an art to repairing broken lives."

The production marks Allen's first return to Broadway since The Heidi Chronicles in 1989, and Irons' first time on Broadway since The Real Thing in 1984.

Impressionism's creative team includes Scott Pask (scenic design), Catherine Zuber (costume design), Natasha Katz (lighting design), Elaine McCarthy (projection design) and Leon Rothenberg (sound design). Original music is by Bob James.
