Playwrights Horizons has announced four additional productions, which will be part of its 40th anniversary season in 2010-2011.
The world premier of Adam Bock’s A Small Fire will be directed by Trip Cullman. The play centers on a tough-as-nails contractor who finds her senses disappearing one at a time. David Greenspan will star in the world premiere of his new play, Go Back to Where You Are, to be directed by Leigh Silverman. In the play, a forgotten chorus boy from the theater of Ancient Greece, stuck in a lonely purgatory these past 2000 years, is sent back to earth on a mission from God.
The world premiere of Bathsheba Doran’s Kin will be directed by Sam Gold, and concerns the unlikely romance between a Texan Ivy League poetry scholar and an Irish personal trainer. Carolyn Cantor will direct the New York premiere of After the Revolution, by Amy Herzog. In the play, a Marxist who has devoted her life to the memory of her blacklisted grandfather discovers a shocking truth about the man.
As previously announced, Elizabeth Ashley and Brian Murray will star in the New York premiere of Edward Albee’s Me, Myself & I, to begin performances in August. Emily Mann will direct. A sixth production for the season will be announced at a later date.
