THE CHARIOTEER World Premiere to Star Mia Wurgaft, John Blake at the cell
Matt Dickson directs Dan Giles's new play, with design by Cat Raynor, Carsen Joenk and Yiyuan Li.
Amanda + James and the cell have announced the full cast and design team for their World Premiere of The Charioteer by Dan Giles (1969: The Second Man at NYTW Next Door; Breeders with New Light Theatre Project), directed by Matt Dickson (Drama Desk Award-nominee for Garside's Career with Mint Theater; Drama League Award-nominee for Where Did We Sit on the Bus? at Actors Theatre of Louisville) at the cell (338 W 23rd St, New York, NY 10011), October 28-November 22.
Growing up, Charly's older brother was her protector and role model, but they've barely spoken since he went away to college. When she tags along to a bewildering night out with his new friends, she discovers that Owen is deep into a political transformation that she doesn't understand. Ten years later, he needs her help. But first, she needs answers. The Charioteer follows a brother and sister on the brink of catastrophe, learning how to fight with-and for-the people they love.
The cast will feature Mia Wurgaft (The Mall, The Mall, The Mall at The Tank) and John Blake (Julliard) with Set Design by Cat Raynor (Gooey's Toxic Aquatic Adventure at Bushwick Starr), Sound Design by Carsen Joenk (Best Life at JACK), and Lighting Design by Yiyuan Li (Associate on Death Becomes Her on Broadway).
