An interrogation follows, reviving the story of Spanish priest Andrés González (1447-1486), whose faith is tested when he finds himself in love with a Jewish woman.

The three men from Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler battle it out at a bachelor party. Camaraderie and good-hearted competition devolve into drunkenness and debauchery as they confront a dark vision of the future. Is there any way to avert the coming disaster, or are we all doomed? Smart, masculine and wildly funny!
Following their enormous downtown success last year with Christmas Is Miles Away by Chloe Moss, this is

It’s Gen X vs. Gen Y in this slacker comedy of manners that follows the romantic adventures of part-time workers in a Tokyo manga café. This new play from one of Japan’s leading theatre artists reveals a portrait of Japanese youth culture adrift and the current socio-economic rifts that have widened the gap between generations. Enjoy is the inaugural project in The Play Company's Universal Voices translation program, a new initiative to commission American translations of foreign-language plays. From the producers of Rainbow Kiss, The Attic, Romania. Kiss Me! and Sakharam Binder.

Don’t miss the first-ever stage adaptation of the famous story adapted by Matt Pelfrey and directed by Joe Tantalo for his acclaimed, award-winning Godlight Theatre Company, returning for their sixth season at 59E59 Theaters. It’s 1962. A hot August night lies heavy over the small town of Argo, Alabama. A dead white man is discovered and the local police arrest a black stranger named Virgil Tibbs. The police discover that their prime suspect is in fact a homicide detective from California. As it happens, Tibbs becomes the racially-tense community’s single hope in solving a brutal murder that is turning up no witnesses, no motives and no clues.
