Direct from a sold-out run in London, Emmy Award® winner Andrew Scott (Ripley, All of Us Strangers) brings to life multiple characters in Tony Award® winner Simon Stephen’s (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) radical new version of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya.
Comedic and tragic, Chekhov’s examination of our shared humanity – our hopes, dreams, regrets – is thrust into sharp focus in this production co-created by acclaimed director Sam Yates.
VANYA explores the kaleidoscope of human emotions, harnessing the power of the intimate bond between actor and audience to delve deeper into the human psyche.
Based on Cornelius Eady’s award-winning poetry cycle, Brutal Imagination is a powerful examination of the notorious 1994 incident in which Susan Smith, a white woman in South Carolina, claimed that a Black man had kidnapped her children. The FBI conducted a nationwide search for the man for nine days until Smith confessed that she had invented the Black man and that she had in fact drowned her children. Brutal Imagination, two voices inside one consciousness, brings this invented man to life.
GENIUS is a hilarious romp set in the sixties, starring the most selfish, irresponsible charmer ever to moon an Oscar audience: Leander Starr, a Hollywood director in the tradition of Orson Welles, whose artistic aspirations soar as high as his checks bounce.
Fleeing creditors, the IRS, and miscellaneous ex-wives, Starr escapes to Mexico City where he runs into legendary author, Patrick Dennis, who proceeds to skewer Starr and his hangers on with wit as dry as a gin martini.
The cast for GENIUS also includes Johanna Carlisle-Zepeda, Natascia Diaz, Jason Forbach, Eddie Korbich, Kara Lindsay, Kate Loprest, Beth Malone, Lesli Marghertia, Diego Andres Rodriguez, Phillip Taratula, and Jacob Keith Watson

A play about books, mostly . . . and bonfires, clichés, dystopias, failure, happiness, jokes, justice, privilege, publishing, rejection, self-loathing, shoplifting, and umbrellas. An old, established, male English writer and a young, aspiring, female American writer meet in London cafés to talk about books—that’s the plot. There are flirtations, arguments, spilt coffee, deaths both in life and in fiction, generational and gender and cultural conflict, rain and laughter. Adapted from celebrated author Charles Boyle’s The Other Jack and 99 Interruptions.
Developed by The Alcove at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, directed by James Dacre. Performed by Jasmine Blackborrow and Nathaniel Parker, and produced by Caridad Svich.
