Atlantic Theater Company presents the American premiere of the critically acclaimed Donmar Warehouse production of THE NIGHT ALIVE, written and directed by Olivier Award winner and Tony Award nominee Conor McPherson. Previews begin today, November 30, 2013 at the Linda Gross Theater (336 West 20th Street), with an opening slated for Thursday, December 12, 2013. The limited run plays through Sunday, January 26, 2014. Check out photos of the cast onstage below!
This limited engagement follows a sold-out run at the
Donmar Warehouse, where the play received its world premiere earlier this year. THE NIGHT ALIVE features the celebrated ensemble cast direct from the
Donmar Warehouse production:
Caoilfhionn Dunne, Brian Gleeson,
Ciarán Hinds, Michael McElhatton and Tony Award winner
Jim Norton.
The production is designed by
Soutra Gilmour, with lighting design by
Neil Austin and sound design by
Gregory Clarke.
In THE NIGHT ALIVE, Tommy's not a bad man. He's getting by - renting a run-down room in his Uncle Maurice's house, just about keeping his ex-wife and kids at arm's length, and rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the next with his pal Doc. Then one day he comes to the aid of Aimee, who's not had it easy herself, struggling through life the only way she knows how. Their pasts won't let go easily. But together there's a glimmer of hope they could make something more of their lives. Something extraordinary. Perhaps.
With inimitable warmth, style and craft,
Conor McPherson's latest play deftly mines the humanity to be found in the most unlikely of situations.
THE NIGHT ALIVE marks the return of Olivier Award winning and Tony Award nominated playwright
Conor McPherson to Atlantic, where his plays Port Authority and Dublin Carol previously received award-winning premiere productions. The acclaimed Broadway production of his play The Seafarer received four Tony Award nominations, including Best Play. He was recently represented off-Broadway with the critically hailed, extended engagement of The Weir at The Irish Repertory Theatre Company.
