Third & Final Extension Announced for THE STRANGE UNDOING OF PRUDENCIA HART

The McKittrick Hotel and The National Theatre of Scotland announced today that their critically acclaimed production of The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, a transporting, music-filled folk theater fable, created by writer David Greig and director Wils Wilson, has been extended for a third and final time by popular demand. Originally scheduled to close January 29, 2017, the production will now run through Sunday, April 23rd at The McKittrick Hotel (542 West 27th Street).

"After a triumphant 6-month run, our Scottish National Theatre cast and creative team must return to Scotland. During their time in New York they have become members of The McKittrick Hotel's extended family and we will miss them very much," said Emursive's Jonathan Hochwald.

The McKittrick Hotel's bar and music venue, The Heath, has been transformed into a high spiriTEd Scottish Pub for the occasion, a unique and perfect setting for The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, featuring a full Scottish cast from the National Theatre of Scotland: Muireann Bird, George Drennan, Peter Hannah, Jessica Hardwick, and Owen Whitelaw. The creative team includes design by Georgia McGuinness, movement by Janice Parker, and musical direction by Alasdair Macrae.

The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart unfolds among and around its audience, weaving an ingenious, lyrical and enchanting story told with live music throughout its intimate and supernatural setting.

The McKittrick Hotel, curated by the NYC-based producing team Emursive, is home to the immersive theater spectacle Sleep No More, the rooftop bar and oasis Gallow Green, the jazz-infused nightclub Manderley Bar, the winter rooftop hideaway The Lodge, and the fine-dining restaurant and concert space The Heath.
