Tony nominee Carey Mulligan (Skylight) will return to the New York stage this summer in Dennis Kelly's new play Girls & Boys. Presented by Audible, Inc., the Royal Court Theatre production will run at the Minetta Lane Theatre beginning Tuesday, June 12, with opening night set for June 20.

Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Machinal), the solo show is decribed as follows: "They met at an airport and fell for each other. But in time, they would meet their fate as it all falls apart." Girls & Boys premiered at the Royal Court this past February.

The creative team for Girls & Boys includes Es Devlin (set design), Jack Galloway (costume design), Luke Halls (video design), Oliver Fenwick (lighting design), David McSeveney (sound design), and Joseph Alford (movement).

Audible will also record and release Mulligan's acclaimed performance as an audio play, extending its reach to millions of listeners around the world. Audible's previous audio plays include the currently running Harry Clarke starring Billy Crudup, and All the Ways to Say I Love You starring Judith Light.
