Marin Ireland's autobiographical play about the aftermath of an abusive relationship was the sleeper hit of 2024, and its return engagement is the fall's hottest Off-Broadway ticket. This is its first full weekend of previews, with Lupita Nyong'o opening the run in the central role before Phillipa Soo, Susannah Flood, Hari Nef and Edie Falco take their turns. Catch it at Greenwich House now and you'll have seen it before the reviews land.
What to expect
A taut 75-minute chamber play performed without intermission in the intimate Greenwich House Theater. Nyong'o plays 'A' opposite the returning ensemble of Greg Keller, Dael Orlandersmith and Sarah Steele; Ireland's script traces the disorienting aftermath of an abusive relationship with precision and unexpected humor. These are preview performances, so the production is still being fine-tuned ahead of its Sep 14 opening.
