LCT3 Announces World Premiere of Daphne, Starring Jasmine Batchelor

Lincoln Center Theater/LCT3 will present the world premiere of Daphne, a new play by Renae Simone Jarrett, directed by Sarah Hughes. Performances will run for six weeks only from October 7-November19 with an official October 23 opening at the Claire Tow Theater.

The play is described as follows: “Daphne has left the city to live with her girlfriend Winona in the woods, and things in the house are beginning to sour. As the days slip through her fingers and a series of unsettling incidents make her question the boundaries of her reality, a strange transformation takes hold of Daphne’s body. Daphne is a surreal and moving new work about the stories we tell ourselves, and the moments we’re forced to choose between difficult truths and comfortable illusions.”

The cast will feature Jasmine Batchelor (Daphne) and Keilly McQuail (Winona), along with Denise Burse, Naomi Lorrain, and Jeena Yi.

The creative team for Daphne will include sets by Maruti Evans, costumes by Oana Botez, lighting by Stacey Derosier, and sound by Sadah Espii Proctor.  Kara Kaufman is the Stage Manager.
