Playwrights Horizons has announced a one-week extension to the world premiere Off-Broadway run of Jordan Harrison's The Antiquities, a co-production with Vineyard Theatre and Goodman Theatre. Previously slated to close February 23, the limited engagement will now continue through March 2.
The Antiquities opened February 4 after beginning previews January 11, with David Cromer and Caitlin Sullivan co-directing. Read the reviews here. A Chicago bow at the Goodman is scheduled for May 3-June 1 following the Off-Broadway engagement.
The cast for the New York production features Cindy Cheung (Log Cabin) as Woman 3, Marchánt Davis (Good Night, Oscar) as Man 2, Layan Elwazani (The Band’s Visit) as Woman 4, Andrew Garman (The Christians) as Man 3, Aria Shahghasemi (Prayer for the French Republic) as Man 1, Kristen Sieh (The Band’s Visit) as Woman 1, Ryan Spahn (Jordans) as Man 4, Julius Rinzel (A Beautiful Voice) as Boy, and Amelia Workman (American Son) as Woman 2.
The play is set at the Museum of Late Human Antiquities, where the curators are fiercely committed to bringing a lost civilization to life again: What were humans really like? What did they wear, what did they eat, how did they die out?
The production also features scenic design by Paul Steinberg, costume design by Brenda Abbandandolo, lighting design by Tyler Micoleau, sound design by Christopher Darbassie, wig and hair design by Leah Loukas, and dramaturgy by Sarah Lunnie with Jeremy Chernick as the SFX consultant. Erin Gioia Albrecht is the stage manager.
