Starring as the shy heroine of Sarah Ruhl’s Off Broadway play “Dead Man’s Cell Phone,” Mary-Louise Parker gives her latest legit role a distinctive stage presence, complete with mousy voice and fragile walk. They’re typically bold acting choices for the thesp.
“Some of it is organic. Some of it is intellectual,” Parker said after the show’s opening at Playwrights Horizons on Tuesday in Gotham. “Sometimes something just happens when I stand up, and it sticks.” Next month Parker is off to shoot the next season of Showtime skein “Weeds,” but the actress still considers legit her true home. “I’m always looking for a play,” she said.

A 4th season of Weeds?? that's great. I thought it was done with, after burning down Majestic/Agrestic. She should start a brothel in the 4th season.
