Audible, Inc., the world’s largest seller and producer of downloadable audiobooks and other spoken-word entertainment, produces the limited five-week-only engagement at the Minetta Lane Theatre (18 Minetta Lane, between MacDougal & 6th Avenue – one block south of W. 3rd Street), following its critically acclaimed world premiere earlier this spring at the Royal Court Theatre in London. Opening night at the Minetta Lane, Audible’s creative home for live performances in New York, is set for Wednesday, June 20. Audible will also record and release Carey Mulligan’s acclaimed performance as an audio play, extending its reach to millions of listeners around the world.

They met at an airport and fell for each other. But in time, they would meet their fate as it all falls apart. A pulse-pounding new play from Tony Award-winning playwright Dennis Kelly takes you on a journey that is at once hilarious, gripping and heartbreaking. Don’t miss this one-woman masterpiece that the Telegraph calls “a devastating tour de force from Carey Mulligan.” Time Out London cheers: “Lyndsey Turner’s production is a knock-out. A Hollywood megastar holding her own in an experimental but somehow also massively crowd-pleasing solo show–this is pretty rare.” 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).

ABOUT ROYAL COURT THEATRE The Royal Court Theatre in London is the writers’ theatre. It is a leading force in world theatre for energetically cultivating writers – undiscovered, emerging and established. Through the writers, the Royal Court is at the forefront of creating restless, alert, provocative theatre about now. They open their doors to the unheard voices and free thinkers that, through their writing, change our way of seeing. Many Royal Court productions have transferred to New York over the last sixty years, most recently, The Children by Lucy Kirkwood; Hangmen by Martin McDonagh; Escaped Alone and Love and Information by Caryl Churchill; The River by Jez Butterworth; Constellations by Nick Payne. Upcoming New York transfers include the Abbey Theatre / Royal Court Theatre co-production of Cyprus Avenue by David Ireland at the Public Theater in June; and The Ferryman by Jez Butterworth, produced by Royal Court Theatre Productions, Sonia Friedman Productions and Neal Street Productions, at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in October. Royal Court plays from every decade are now performed on stage and taught in classrooms and universities across the globe. www.GirlsandBoysthePlay.com |
