St. Ann’s Warehouse has announced two new international productions for early 2026, following its upcoming staging of Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Christie, directed by Thomas Kail and starring Michelle Williams (November 25, 2025–February 1, 2026).
The Brooklyn venue will present Milo Rau’s HATE RADIO from February 12–28, 2026, and Luke Murphy’s SCORCHED EARTH from April 3–19, 2026. Both works bring global perspectives on history, trauma, and cultural identity to American audiences.
HATE RADIO
Milo Rau’s Hate Radio reconstructs the Rwandan RTLM radio station that broadcast inflammatory rhetoric and misinformation during the lead-up to the 1994 genocide. First performed in 2011 and presented worldwide since, the production places audiences outside a glass-enclosed studio while the ensemble recreates broadcasts derived from verbatim materials, performed in French and Kinyarwanda with English supertitles. The cast includes Sébastien Foucault, Eric Ngangare, Diogène Ntarindwa, Bwanga Pilipili, and, via video, Estelle Marion and Nancy Nkusi.
SCORCHED EARTH
Luke Murphy’s Scorched Earth, presented in association with Attic Projects, returns the artist to St. Ann’s Warehouse following Volcano at the 2025 Under the Radar Festival. A co-production of Dublin Dance Festival and Galway International Arts Festival, the work combines dance-theatre, narrative, and design elements to examine questions of land, inheritance, and responsibility within an Irish context. Murphy performs alongside Sarah Dowling, Tyler Carney-Faleatua, Ryan O’Neill, and Will Thompson, with scenic design by Alyson Cummins, lighting by Stephen Dodd, and music by Rob Moloney.
St. Ann’s Warehouse continues its long history of bringing international and large-scale experimental work to Brooklyn Bridge Park. The venue has previously introduced U.S. audiences to global productions including Black Watch, Let the Right One In, The Walworth Farce, The Donmar Warehouse all-female Shakespeare Trilogy, Daniel Fish’s Oklahoma! and The Jungle, among others. The organization remains a cultural home for artists creating boundary-pushing work across theatre, music, and interdisciplinary performance.
