Photos: IRONBOUND at the Madnani Theatre in Hollywood

Loveborg Productions & Vs. Studio are presenting IRONBOUND by Martyna Majok and directed by Kimberly Alexander. IRONBOUND opened on Friday, May 1st and will run through Monday, May 18th at The Madnani Theatre. Check out photos below!

The Los Angeles engagement of IRONBOUND marks the return of husband-and-wife duo Chad Coe and Marisa Van Den Borre, reuniting onstage after first meeting and falling in love while performing opposite each other in the world premiere of Jon Klein’s Resolving Hedda, an LA Times Critic’s Pick and Ovation-nominated production. That collaboration also sparked a lasting artistic partnership with director Kimberly Alexander, who starred alongside them in Resolving Hedda. 

Coe and Van Den Borre star as Darja and Tommy, grounding Majok’s powerful ensemble drama in emotional history and lived connection. Van Den Borre, a four-time Emmy-winning producer on Judge Judy, brings a seasoned producer’s precision and narrative instinct to the production. Chad Coe brings his chops as both a skilled comedic and dramatic Actor to the project from his time on Abbott Elementary to his upcoming recurring role this fall on Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story. The genesis of IRONBOUND began with a simple question posed by co-producer Johnny Clark of The VS. Studio: “What show would you want to go out on?” The answer was immediate. IRONBOUND 

IRONBOUND takes place over the course of 20 years, through three relationships, and in one location - at a New Jersey bus stop. Polish immigrant Darja negotiates for her future with men who can offer her love or security, but never both. Though the world of Ironbound is a world of constant less - less safety, less softness, less margin for error - Darja is determined to build a life that measures in more than just survival. Each negotiation is an act of hope and every win, no matter how small, serves as proof that even in a life defined by “less,” something can still be gained.
