WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Winner of the 2002 Olivier Award, The Play What I Wrote is a play which revolves around Hamish, who no longer wants to be part of his comedy double act with Sean. Instead he wants to see the play that he has written, A Tight Squeeze for the Scarlet Pimple, properly mounted on the Broadway stage. But before this can happen he needs a major star to play the supporting role to his lead role. The Play What I Wrote stars Sean Foley,
Hamish McColl and Toby Jones (Olivier Award winner for this performance) and a surprise celebrity guest star. Kenneth Branagh directs.

A revolving door of guest stars appears. In London during two sold-out nine-month engagements at The Wyndham's Theatre, Ralph Fiennes, Sir Ian McKellen, Roger Moore, Jerry Hall, Sting and Ewan McGregor were a few of the lucky notables who earned a featured spot in the
West End's hottest ticket. The identity of the surprise celebrity guests for the New York engagement is kept a tightly guarded secret.

Student tickets will be available for $10 at the Lyceum Theatre box office beginning at 10 AM every performance day, except for Sunday when the box office opens at Noon. There is a limit of 4 tickets per student. Students must have a valid I.D. This offer is subject to availability. The usual $1.25 facilities fee is included in the price.

Children under 4 are not permitted in the theater.

Nineteen years ago, Nichols presented Whoopi Goldberg at the same theater in her breakout solo show. And, 24 years before that, Nichols and Elaine May were at the John Golden in An Evening With Nichols and May, splitting audience's sides with comedy routines that are still ahead of their time.

Nichols's newest, splashily produced effort, an import from London, stops time in its tracks and sends it reeling dizzily backwards. It stars Hamish McColl and Sean Foley, who someti[...]
