You can now get a first look inside rehearsals for The Public Theater’s production of GLASS. KILL. WHAT IF IF ONLY. IMP, a quartet of new short plays by the groundbreaking playwright Caryl Churchill and directed by James Macdonald. The first time the four plays will be presented together, the show begins performances at The Public on Thursday, April 3. The production officially opens on Wednesday, April 16 and runs in the Martinson Hall through Sunday, May 4.
A girl made of glass. Gods and murders. A pack of ghosts. And a secret in a bottle. A kaleidoscope of stories, each short play is a testament to how playwright Caryl Churchill has “remade the landscape of contemporary drama—and earned herself a place among the greats” (The Guardian). James Macdonald directs these wildly inventive new works. The Public’s production marks the first time all four plays will be presented together.
The complete cast of GLASS. KILL. WHAT IF IF ONLY. IMP. includes Japhet Balaban, Ruby Blaut, John Ellison Conlee, Adelind Horan, Maddox Morfit-Tighe, Deirdre O'Connell, Cecilia Ann Popp, Sathya Sridharan, Junru Wang, and Ayana Workman. Kyle Cameron, Orlagh Cassidy, and Anya Whelan-Smith will serve as understudies.
GLASS. KILL. WHAT IF IF ONLY. IMP. features scenic design by Miriam Buether, costume design by Enver Chakartash, lighting design by Isabella Byrd, sound design by Bray Poor, stunt coordination by Michael Rossmy, and dialect coaching by Amanda Quaid. Caroline Englander will serve as production stage manager and Luisa Sánchez Colón as stage manager.
