Skylight Adds Performances to Its Broadway Run

The Broadway revival of David Hare's Skylight has moved up the date of its first preview performance to March 13, from the previously announced March 16, with the official opening remaining set for April 2. The show will run for a strictly limited 13-week engagement through June 14 at the John Golden Theatre.

Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy star in the West End transfer, directed by Stephen Daldry. Mulligan, an Academy Award nominee for the film An Education, plays Kyra Hollis, a London schoolteacher who, on a wintry evening, receives a visit from her former lover, restaurateur Tom Sergeant (Nighy), whose wife has recently died. As they attempt to rekindle their relationship, they must contend with conflicting ideologies that stand in the way. Matthew Beard completes the cast as Tom's college-age son, Edward.

Beard makes his Broadway debut with the production, which recently ended a sold-out run at London's Wyndham's Theatre this summer. Mulligan returns to Broadway for the first time since 2008's The Seagull. Nighy made his Broadway debut in Hare's The Vertical Hour in 2006.
