Wohl’s new play chronicles the family of long-married couple Bill and Nancy, who have been together for 50 years when Nancy decides she wants out, shocking the couple’s two adult sons and forcing everyone to question everything they assumed about the people they thought they knew best. McKenzie will play the character of “Ben.”
On the film side, McKenzie has the upcoming Steven C. Miller action thriller Line of Duty opposite Aaron Eckhart, and the Amazon feature The Torture Report with Adam Driver and Annette Bening.
