Photo Coverage: 'Pumpgirl' Opening Night Party

The Manhattan Theatre Club production of Abbie Spallen's Pumpgirl officially opened Tuesday December 4 at MTC at New York City Center – Stage II (131 West 55th Street).

Directed by Carolyn Cantor, the cast features: Hannah Cabell, Geraldine Hughes, and Paul Sparks.

"In this gripping play from one of Ireland's brightest new talents, playwright Abbie Spallen shapes a startling tale of three lives colliding in rural Ireland. The play unfolds with the story of a homely, tomboyish pump girl (Cabell) at a rundown gas station. When a local racetrack star (Sparks) becomes the focus of her obsession, the affair threatens more than the feelings of his disenchanted wife (Hughes). A blazing success last season in Edinburgh and at London's renowned Bush Theatre, the play is in the best tradition of richly detailed and unforgettable Irish storytelling," explain press notes.

Now – December 9 Tuesday – Sunday at 7:30pm, Saturday & Sunday at 2:30pm.
After December 10: Tuesday – Saturday at 7:30pm; Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday at 2:30pm.
