The Walter Kerr Theatre (219 West 48th Street) will soon be home to Fiona Shaw in The Testament of Mary by Colm Tóibín, directed by Deborah Warner. The 12-week limited engagement begins previews Tuesday, March 26 at 8pm. Opening night is Monday, April 22 at 6:30pm. Tickets are also available at telecharge.com, testamentonbroadway.com or by calling 212-239-6200.
Shaw and the creative team met the press yesterday and you can check out what they ha dto say about the new play below!
THE TESTAMENT OF MARY takes place after the Crucifixion. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is in the city of Ephesus where she is both guarded and protected. As two of her son's followers set about giving shape to Jesus' story, Mary tells her own story - the one which has not been heard.
This historic collaboration between actress Fiona Shaw and director Deborah Warner results in the creation, for the first time, of a new work for Broadway, written by acclaimed author Colm Tóibín. The New York Times calls The Testament of Mary "beautiful and daring." The New York Review of Books calls it "subversive and ruthless," and lauds it for its "sensational theatricality." And Entertainment Weekly says it is "spellbinding and emotional. A generous leap of imagination."
