Off-Broadway's Public Theater will host the New York debut of Kyiv-based theatre company Theater on Podil with a limited run of its When the Hurlyburly's Done, a new play written and directed by Tony winner Richard Nelson, translated by Yulia Sosnovska. The production will play the company's Shiva Theater September 16-21 in Ukrainian, with English supertitles.

Set in 1920, the work follows six women who have stayed behind with their children while everyone else is out seeing a play in the Ukrainian countryside. Yulia Brusentseva, Kateryna Chikina, Mariia Demenko, Natalka Kobizka, Olena Korzeniuk, and Maria Kos will star.

“My ambition has been to write a play about six young women putting on a play in the middle of a war to be performed by six young women putting on this play in the middle of a war," says Nelson in a statement. The play is Nelson's second time directing with Theater on Podil. His earlier staging of Conversations in Tusculum was filmed at Theater on Podil and screened at the Public last year. When the Hurlyburly's Done brings Nelson back to the Public after they premiered his Apple Family plays, including The Gabriels, The Michaels, and Illyria.

“When the Hurlyburly’s Done is a magnificent artistic response by Richard Nelson to the art of a brave and heroic nation, Ukraine," says Public Artistic Director Oskar Eustis. "We are proud to celebrate Richard’s astonishing artistic and humanitarian achievement, and humbled by the opportunity to express our undying solidarity with the theatremakers of Ukraine.”

The production will feature scenic and costume design by Mariia Pohrebniak, lighting design by Sergey Nevgadovsky, and sound design by Sergey Shevchenko. Vladyslav Tsekhmeistruk and Milada Samoilova will serve as stage managers.
