Overview
- The Off-Broadway revival opened Nov. 23 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre and is scheduled to run through Dec. 28.
- Nicholas Braun plays Doug opposite two-time Tony Award winner Kara Young as Kayleen in Rajiv Joseph’s two-hander.
- Neil Pepe directs a production built from nonlinear fragments that follow the characters from age 8 to 38.
- The staging incorporates deliberate, visible transitions where the actors change costumes, apply injuries, and bandage onstage to highlight physical versus emotional pain.
- Critics note Braun’s first major New York stage appearance since Succession and situate the show within the Lortel’s recent star-led, intimate revivals.
