Laura Linney will star in the world premiere of Montauk by David Hare and directed by Daniel Sullivan at Manhattan Theatre Club. The production will open on Broadway at MTC’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in Spring 2027.  

Broadway has a long history of one-person shows, including many that have been added to the canon in this century.  Seeing one actor powerfully create a whole world on stage can be an exceptional experience. Of course, one handers are hardly one-person projects; while there may only be one actor on stage, they are collaborating with an entire team of creatives, designers, and behind-the-scenes personnel to bring a show to life. 

My Name Is Lucy Barton, written by Elizabeth Strout and adapted by Rona Munro, will be presented at The Drama Factory, directed by Charmaine Weir Smith.

The award-winning South African production of My Name Is Lucy Barton, starring Julie-Anne McDowell and directed by Charmaine Weir-Smith, returns for three performances only at Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees, October 11–13, 2025. Tickets available at Quicket.
