It's Atlantic Yards: the play.

A Manhattan theater company that has garnered rave reviews for previous performances on hot-button topics now has its sights set on the controversial Atlantic Yards project.

From there, the group will have a better idea of what form the show will take and how it will be presented, said Cosson, who added that while he is critical of the project, the theater company's portrayal will be objective.

A spokesman for Ratner declined to comment.
