A trio of acclaimed, awarded actors are leading Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel's newest play, and PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at them in action!

Jessica Lange, Jim Parsons and Celia Keenan-Bolger are starring in Broadway's Mother Play — A Play in Five Evictions, which the Second Stage Theater production describes as "a bitingly funny and unflinchingly honest new play about the hold our family has over us and the surprises we find when we unpack the past."

Beginning previews Tuesday, April 2, the limited engagement play — directed by Tina Landau — will officially open on Thursday, April 25 at the Hayes Theater in New York City.

The actors get into character in a preview image PEOPLE can exclusively debut. Snapped in the back of a moving truck, Keenan-Bolger, 46, and Parsons, 50, strike a pose while standing behind a sitting, smoldering Lange, 74.

Set in 1962 just outside Washington, D.C., the play follows matriarch Phyllis (Lange) as she supervises her teenage children, Carl (Parsons) and Martha (Keenan-Bolger) amid their move into a new apartment.

"Phyllis has strong ideas about what her children need to do and be to succeed, and woe be the child who finds their own path," the official description reads. "Bolstered by gin and cigarettes, the family endures — or survives — the changing world around them. Blending flares of imaginative theatricality, surreal farce, and deep tenderness, this beautiful rollercoaster ride reveals timeless truths of love, family, and forgiveness."

Parsons has starred on Broadway in An Actor of God, Harvey, The Normal Heart and The Boys in the Band — the latter two which won Tonys for best revival of a play. He's go on to reprise his roles in both film adaptations.
