Check out photos of Arena Stage's new production of The Age of Innocence, running through March 30, 2025, directed by Arena Stage Artistic Director Hana S. Sharif.
Edith Wharton's novel The Age of Innocence was published about a week before she was able to vote for the first time in 1920. The following year, she became the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize. Now, playwright Karen Zacarías has adapted Wharton's complex tragedy of manners into Arena's elegant, 3 hour production ably directed by Hana S. Sharif. Set mostly in New York in the 1870s, Wharton, Zacarías, and Sharif recognize the ways in which the old fashioned social constructs of a still-young country could entrap individuals and crush their inner lives in contrast to the apparent success and prosperity of their day to day. Wharton's title, ironic a century ago, remains that way today. If this sounds dour, be reassured that it's often lightened by SNL-worthy Staten Island barbs and hoot-inducing stabs at Washington, DC, where a character briefly resides to avoid a husband in Europe and a clan in New York.
TDF will celebrate 50 years of its exceptional Costume Collection with a glamorous party, Costumes & Cocktails, on Monday, April 7 at Tao Downtown (92 Ninth Avenue).
