The production will be the first production at Studio Seaview, presented by production company Seaview.
It has been announced that John Krasinski will return to the stage in a production of Penelope Skinner’s Angry Alan, directed by Sam Gold.
Running for a strictly 10-week limited run from the 23rd May, this revival of the dark comedy will officially open on the 11th June.
Roger is divorced, demoted, and drifting—lost in an era that no longer makes sense. But when an online personality promises clarity, Roger dives in without looking back.
Timely, provocative, and darkly comedic, Angry Alan explores one man’s journey down the digital rabbit hole—examining how far he’s willing to go, and how much he’s prepared to lose, for validation in a world where “everybody’s changing the rules.”
People can sign up for pre-sale tickets here (the pre-sale will run for 24 hours from 10am on the 2nd April), with tickets going on general sale at 10am on the 3rd April.
Angry Alan first premiered at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, going onto feature on The New York Times theater critic Matt Wolf’s list of the best plays in Europe for that year. This is the play’s New York debut.
Talking about the news, director Sam Gold said: “I’ve been looking for years to lure John to the stage. What a dream it’s going to be with such a vital piece of writing from one of my favorite writers and collaborators. I can’t wait to get started!”
The production will feature scenic design by Tony Award nominee dots, costume design by Qween Jean, lighting design by Tony Award nominee Isabella Byrd, sound design by Tony Award nominee Mikaal Sulaiman, video design by Tony Award nominee Lucy Mackinnon, properties by Addison Heeren, with Niamh Jones as associate director, Kate Wilson as vocal coach, and dramaturgy by Sarah Lunnie.
