Atlantic Theater Company officially opened the world premiere of Lucy Thurber's BOTTOM OF THE WORLD on Tuesday, September 14.  The production stars Crystal A. Dickinson, Brandon J. Dirden, Aubrey Dollar, Brendan Griffin, Kristin Griffith, Jessica Love, Peter Maloney and K.K. Moggie. The production is directed by Caitriona McLaughlin. Below, BroadwayWorld brings you opening night photo coverage!

BOTTOM OF THE WORLD will play a limited engagement through Sunday, October 3 Off-Broadway at Atlantic Stage 2 (330 West 16 Street).

Heartbroken over the sudden death of her sister Kate (Love), Abby (Dickinson) delves into the world of Kate's final novel to deal with her grief and somehow move on. As the lines blur between the fictional world and her own reality, Abby attempts to make sense of life and death in this funny and poignant play.

Playwright Lucy Thurber returns to Atlantic following the critically acclaimed world premiere production of her play Scarcity. She recently worked with director Caitriona McLaughlin last season on the revival of her play Killlers and Other Family. Her other plays include Where We're Born, Ashville, Stay, Monstrosity and Dillingham City.

Irish director Caitriona McLaughlin makes her Atlantic debut. She most recently staged David Duggan's the Blackbird Sings at Ireland's Playhouse Derry followed by the 2010 Irish Tour, and Lucy Thurber's Killers and other Family Off Broadway.

The creative team for BOTTOM OF THE WORLD features scenic design by Walt Spangler, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Matthew Richards, sound design by Robert Kaplowitz and movement consultation by Kelly Maurer.

BOTTOM OF THE WORLD was developed at the Perry-Mansfield New Works Festival in 2009.
