Taylor Schilling and Peter Dinklage will be starring in a New York revival of "A Month in the Country". The two actors will be taking on the role of lovelorn landowners.

The play, penned by Russian writer Ivan Tugenev, is set in the 1840s, in the Islaev country estate. Natalya Petrovna is married to Arkadi Islaev, a rich landowner who is seven years older than her. The five-act comedy of manners revolves around Petrovna's affairs of the heart and the mind which were prompted by mere boredom.

Schilling will be taking on the role of Natalya Petrovna, while Dinklage will be playing Mikhail Rakitin, Petrovna's friend who has long carried a torch for her.

The play will be directed by Dinklage's wife, Erica Schmidt.

Performances will begin on January 9 in New York's East Village. The play will only run until February 15.

Dinklage, the 45-year old actor who has a form of dwarfism, is best known for playing Tyrion Lannister in the television adaptation of the medieval "Game of Thrones".

30-year old Schilling, on the other hand is most famed for her role as Piper Chapman in Netflix's series "Orange is the New Black". The said series is set in a women's prison.

Both Schilling and Dinklage are up for Emmy awards next week.

Schilling is nominated for "Best Actress in a Drama Series". On the other hand, Dinklage won an Emmy for "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series" in 2011 and is once again nominated in the same category this year.

Despite the differences in setting of "Game of Thrones" and "Orange is the New Black", what both series have in common is raw nudity and sexually explicit content.

When asked about doing nude scenes in the upcoming season of "Orange is the New Black", Schilling shared that the audience can expect that she will have another very explicit scene next season.
