Old Red Lion Theater Presents ‘night, Mother
By: Gabrielle Sierra Jul. 20, 2011
Marsha Norman's multi-award winning play ‘night, Mother has its first professional production in London at the Old Red Lion Theatre nearly three decades after it garnered the Pulitzer, Drama Desk and Susan Blackburn award for Best Play.
‘night, Mother was nominated for four Tony awards and won a Pulitzer Prize after a production starring Kathy Bathes and Anne Pitoniak transferred from the American Repertory Theater in Boston to Broadway, where it ran for 380 performances. The UK premiere will be directed by Paul Stacey who trained in Dramaturgy at the ART and directed David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago at the same prestigious theatre upon graduation - this will be his directorial debut in the UK.Co-artistic director of the Old Red Lion, Nicholas Thompson, said that the programming of ‘night, Mother was "reflective of the bold new path that the Red Lion Theatres wanted to take. We want to take the best new talent in the country, from directors and designers to stage managers and producers and help them to develop their craft working with brilliant scripts, from classics such as ‘night, Mother to new work."418 St John Street, London, EC1V 4NJ
