Dates have been announced for New York Theatre Workshop‘s previously reported presentation of the New York premiere of Elevator Repair Service’s The Select (The Sun Also Rises). The show will run August 19-October 9, with an opening on September 11.

The Select (The Sun Also Rises), which is directed by John Collins, is based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway. It presents a fresh take on Hemingway’s tale of young expatriates living in early 20th century Europe in which journalist Jake Barnes, his former lover Lady Brett Ashley, and the writer Robert Cohn cope with post-war realities and enter the “age of anxiety” following the end World War I.

The production will feature set and costume design by David Zinn, lighting design by Mark Barton, and sound design by Matt Tierney and Ben Williams.

Elevator Repair Service’s previous productions include Gatz and The Sound and the Fury.
