In response to popular and critical acclaim, Soho Rep., in association with John Adrian Selzer, announces a second and final extension of the U.S. premiere of Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. to May 22.

Written by award winning British playwright Alice Birch, and originally commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the American premiere is directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, 31, with both rigor and a playful spirit, and features Daniel Abeles, Molly Bernard, Eboni Booth and Jennifer Ikeda. The production introduces American audiences to Birch, 29, who was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2012 and 2015 and is a co-winner of the 2014 George Devine Award for Most Promising Playwright.

Through a series of provocations that overlap, intersect and explode, Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. explores the politics of language.

Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. was declared a New York Times critic's pick by Ben Brantley, who wrote, "ferocious energy courses through this short, sharp shock of a production...With a cast that revels in acting up and acting out, Ms. Birch's work finds the theatrical exhilaration in civil disobedience." Also naming the production a critics' pick, David Cote of Time Out New York noted, "The linguistic and visual density that Birch and director Lileana Blain-Cruz achieve leaves you emotionally winded yet still engaged." Katy Waldman in Slate added that the play "is a puckish, yet deadly serious meditation on how language molds our experience of gender, a scalding cascade of interconnected vignettes exploring words and their limits."

The creative team for Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again.includes Adam Rigg (sets), Yi Zhao (lights), Kaye Voyce (costumes), Palmer Hefferan (sound), George Hoffmann and Greg Kozatek (props), Hannah Wasileski (projection), J. David Brimmer (fight choreography), Lisa McGinn (production stage manager) and David Nelson (production manager).

Performances of Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again.will now take place through May 22 (see schedule above) at Soho Rep. which is located at 46 Walker Street in Manhattan. Tickets for the original run (April 5-May 1) are $35/$55; tickets for the extension (May 3-22) are $45/$65 and can be purchased by visiting sohorep.org or calling 212.352.3101. $30 general rush and $20 student rush (valid school ID required) tickets are available at the box office 30 minutes prior to curtain for each performance, no advance sales. 99-cent Sunday tickets for Revolt.

Soho Rep.'s series of Humanities events, FEED, will continue for Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again.
