New York's Irish Rep and Dublin's Fishamble: The New Play Company join hands across the water to present a solo work written and performed by Kwaku Fortune. The show explores the experience of darkness both on the outside (as a mixed-race person in Ireland) and the inside (dealing with feeling whose expression is discouraged). Nicola Murphy Dubey directs the world premiere.
New York theater ranges far beyond the 41 large midtown houses that we call Broadway. Many of the city's most innovative and engaging new plays and musicals can be found Off Broadway, in venues that seat between 100 and 499 people. These more intimate spaces present work in a wide range of styles, from new pieces by major artists at the Public Theater or Playwrights Horizons to crowd-pleasing commercial fare at New World Stages. And even the top Off Broadway shows usually cost less than the best Broadway shows (even if you score cheap tickets to them). Use our comprehensive listings to find reviews, prices, ticket links, curtain times and more for current and upcoming Off Broadway shows.
