Two celebrated stage works about marriages in crisis by Tom Stoppard and Donald Margulies are heading to Broadway.

The Roundabout Theatre Company said Monday that Margulies’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Dinner with Friends” will be part of its 2013-14 theatrical season, as will a revival of Stoppard’s Tony Award-winning play “The Real Thing.”

Margulies’ play, an unsettling drama about how the breakup of one couple affects another, will be directed by Tony Award nominee Pam MacKinnon.
