The Manhattan Theatre Club production of Richard Bean's The Nap opened at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre September 27. The new comedy from the One Man, Two Guvnors playwright invites audiences into the world of snooker—a British version of pool.

The creative team for the production also includes David Rockwell (scenic design), Kaye Voyce (costume design), Justin Townsend (lighting design), Lindsay Jones (original music and sound design), Anne Ford-Coates (hair and make-up design), Ben Furey (dialect coach), and Thomas Schall (fight director).
