'[Thank you] to an incredible cast of British and American actors who make the Atlantic look like a little creek you can just kind of pop across,' said Dame Helen Mirren upon receiving her 2015 Tony Award. The stage and screen star reprised her critically-acclaimed performance in THE AUDIENCE after a West End run in 2013, and she was just one of many to 'pop across' an ocean for a stab at Broadway.  An unprecedented amount of British talent took over Broadway last year, bringing us such productions as THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, WOLF HALL: PARTS 1 & 2, and SKYLIGHT.   It doesn't seem like the trend is ending anytime soon. This fall, Broadway will welcome a slew of British actors- some of whom will be making their US stage debuts in incoming productions. And it's not just performers. We're getting some complete British imports in shows like A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE and KING CHARLES III. Below, we're taking a moment to shine a spotlight on this season's British imports.

The Skirball Cultural Center presents a live performance by the mesmerizing Iranian duo Niyaz, featuring vocalist Azam Ali and multi-instrumentalist Loga Ramin Torkian. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as 'mystical music with a modern edge,' Niyaz-which means 'yearning' in both Farsi and Urdu-blend medieval Sufi poetry and folk songs from their native Iran with acoustic instrumentation and modern electronic rhythms. The result is a distinctively twenty-first-century global trance sound that crosses not only stylistic and cultural boundaries but generational ones as well. The music is enhanced by Ali's rich, plaintive vocals and by conscientious, spiritual lyrics that explore the plight of immigrants and minority ethnic and religious groups. Niyaz-who from the beginning have strived to create social and political awareness through their work-use the beauty of their music and the artistry of their lyrics to speak out against injustice and oppression.
