The cast of INSIGNIFICANCE celebrated its opening night this week and BroadwayWorld has all the photos of the celebration!

The acclaimed UK based theater company Defibrillator presents Insignificance, by Tony Award winner Terry Johnson, at the five-star hotel Langham Place, New York, Fifth Avenue. The play, which takes place in a hotel room in 1953, is staged entirely within a hotel room on the fifth floor of Langham Place, New York. The site-specific production is directed by Defibrillator's Artistic Director James Hillier, andwill play a strictly limited engagement through March 20, 2016.

On a summer night in 1953, four American icons - a senator, a film actress, a star athlete and the world's most renowned physicist - gather in a hotel room to discuss and debate power, sex and politics. From the atom bomb to America's favorite pastime, Insignificance explores the nature of fame and living in a Post-War America through the lens of Joseph McCarthy, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and Albert Einstein in what The Guardian called one of the "landmark plays of the 80s."
