In an unusual move, Everyman Theatre has announced one of the works on its 2017-2018 lineup — David Henry Hwang's Tony Award-winning "M. Butterfly," which will launch the season in September. The remainder of the season will be unveiled in the spring.

It's turning out to be the autumn of "M. Butterfly."

The 1988 play will also get a Broadway revival opening in late October, starring Clive Owen and directed by Julie Taymor. It will mark her return to Broadway after being pushed out as director of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" in 2011.
