Haven't read too much about this show - huge fan of Bruce Norris but can't seem to find any buzz on this World Premiere

Also, I heard that the production was moving to National Theatre in London in 2019 but haven't read that - anyone know anything?

Curious to see what Bruce and Pam have up their respective sleeves

I have not seen it yet, but I've heard very positive things from people who saw a preview this weekend.

From the website, "Downstate is a co-commission and co-production with the National Theatre of Great Britain. This exciting collaboration will premiere at Steppenwolf in fall 2018 and transfer to the National Theatre in spring 2019. Under the direction of Tony Award winner Pam MacKinnon, Downstate will feature an American and British cast and creative team."

D'oh - not sure how I missed that on the website.  Thank you for pointing it out

Would this be a first for Stepenwolf to already have a London run slated (or because this is a co-production does that term seem worded incorrectly?)
