On learning of his mother’s death, country music icon Strings McCrane (Driver) finds himself in an existential tailspin. The only way out, he decides, is to abandon superstardom in favor of the simple life, so he moves back to his hometown in Tennessee. The simple life turns out to be anything but simple in this brilliantly observed tragicomedy, as the consequences of Strings’s success and mind-bending effects of his fame prove all but impossible to outrun.
In 2023-24, Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott broke Lortel box office records with their sold-out production of John Patrick Shanley’s Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, in between sold out engagements of Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My Show and Cole Escola’s Oh, Mary!, on the heels of which Adam Driver makes his triumphant return to the New York stage in Kenneth Lonergan’s modern classic, Hold on to Me Darling.
This production has a running time of 3 hours, including one 15 intermission.

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.

New York Theatre Workshop,
in association with Lucille Lortel Theatre, presents
A Sinking Ship and Theater in Quarantine production
In partnership with Under the Radar
Trapped in a time loop, space traveler Egon Tichy faces his own worst enemy: himself. And he’s multiplying. In this inventive fusion of live performance and digital sleight-of-hand, a single performer builds a cinematic sci-fi comedy in real time, transforming an 8’x4′ white box into a cosmic madhouse. The acclaimed physical theater company Sinking Ship and the Obie Award-winning Theater in Quarantine have reimagined their “virtuosic” (Jesse Green, NYT Critic’s Pick) early pandemic streaming hit The 7th Voyage of Egon Tichy as a mind-bending in-person experience—a slapstick adventure and poignant meditation on the tug-of-war between the versions of ourselves we can never escape.
This new staging is a reinvention of the original: rewritten, expanded, and reconceived as a unique in-person theatrical experience.
The 7th Voyage of Egon Tichy [redux] contains mild adult language and situations but is appropriate for audiences of all ages.
NOTE: This production will be performed at the Fourth Street Theatre (83 East 4th Street). The theatre is accessed by climbing eight steps from street level, and unfortunately the building is not equipped with an elevator.
