Now in its 9th smash season, 2013 Brits Off Broadway features a spectacular line-up of New York premieres coming direct from the UK (including a forgotten J.B. Priestley play).
Brits Off Broadway begins by kicking off the Scotland Week celebrations with the NY premieres of two critically acclaimed plays from two more...
of Scotland's most prestigious theaters. David Harrower (last season's critically acclaimed A Slow Air) returns to 59E59 Theaters with his haunting play GOOD WITH PEOPLE. George Perrin, who had a major success at 59E59 with Edmund White's Terre Haute, directs. The two-hander stars AnDrew Scott-Ramsay (from David Greig's 2008 Brits Off Broadway hit Yellow Moon) and Blythe Duff (last seen in New York in Beautiful Burnout at St. Ann's Warehouse). This US premiere comes to NY from Scotland's celebrated Traverse Theatre as part of their 50th anniversary celebration.
Also celebrating Scotland Week at 59E59 Theaters is performer and magician Rob Drummond, who makes his US premiere with the heart-stopping BULLET CATCH, from The Arches in Glasgow.
After 75 years, a forgotten J.B. Priestley play arrives in NY with the critically acclaimed Finborough Theatre production of CORNELIUS. Directed by Sam Yates and starring Alan Cox as the titular character, CORNELIUS was called "Piercingly relevant, compassionate and delivered, like Cornelius's bons mots, with great style" by the Times.
The seductive, flame-haired mezzo Jessica Walker brings her provocative celebration of the great cross-dressing women of British theater in THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME. The renowned abstract artist Roger Hilton's life is examined in BOTALLACK O'CLOCK. The birthplace of the Titanic holds just as much drama as the notorious boat itself in THE BOAT FACTORY. Finally, Brits Off Broadway wraps up with a hilarious ode to romance with DIRTY GREAT LOVE STORY.
The 2013 Brits Off Broadway line up is the one of the best British Invasions ever!
