Julia Randall's Dilaria will make its world premiere at Off-Broadway's DR2 Theatre beginning June 13 ahead of a June 18 opening night, kicking off an eight-week limited run.
Starring will be Ella Stiller as Dilaria, Chiara Aurelia (Fear Street) as Georgia, and Christopher Briney (The Summer I Turned Pretty, Mean Girls) as Noah. Casting is by Taylor Williams.
The work follows its titular character, a rich, young girl who finds there's nothing more powerful on social media than your classmate dying tragically young. Press notes promise audiences can expect a work that "plunges into the ecstasy and ennui of a generation raised on true crime, reality TV, and social media."
Randall is a relatively new playwright to the scene, though her play Little Miss Ransom played a sold-out run in Bushwick last year. “My interest as a writer is over the series of complex questions that arise when a woman is declared to be 'difficult' or 'evil,'" Randall says in a statement. "I often ask myself how can I objectively play both sides of a character’s morality, and where do those lines blur with an audience’s predeterminations around the ideas presented?”
Alex Keegan is directing, leading a creative team that will include scenic designer Frank J. Oliva, lighting designer Paige Seber, costume designer Lily Cunicelli, and video designer Erin Sullivan.
