Eisenberg will star in the New York production of The Spoils in the Spring of 2015, directed by Scott Elliott for the New Group's inaugural season at the Pershing Square Signature Center. Nobody likes Ben. Ben doesn't even like Ben. He's been kicked out of grad school, lives off his parents' money, and bullies everyone in his life, including his roommate, an earnest Nepalese immigrant.

The Spoils is a deeply personal and probing comedy written by one of America's most interesting writer-thespians.
