Overview
- The Off‑Broadway premiere opened November 18 after previews from October 30 and is scheduled to run through December 21 in The Shed’s Griffin Theater.
- Hanks co-wrote the play with James Glossman, adapting stories from his 2017 collection Uncommon Type, with direction by Tony winner Kenny Leon.
- The story follows Bert Allenberry, a scientist from 2089 who repeatedly revisits the 1939 World’s Fair in Queens, where he meets Carmen Perry.
- Review roundups note strong turns by Hanks and O’Hara and polished design work, while citing a meandering structure, fuzzy sci‑fi mechanics and an overlong feel.
- The production runs about 2 hours 15 minutes including intermission, with tickets generally ranging from roughly $45 to $269.
