Off-Broadway's Public Theater has extended its upcoming run of a quartet of Caryl Churchill plays, GLASS. KILL. WHAT IF IF ONLY. IMP., set to begin previews in the company's Martinson Hall April 3 ahead of an April 16 opening night. Now getting an additional week, the run will continue through May 11.
The performance features four new works from Churchill—the first time they have been performed together—described as a "kaleidoscope of stories" in press notes. The production is the latest in a long collaboration between Churchill and The Public, dating back to the North American premiere of Churchill's Top Girls in 1982.
The cast will include Japhet Balaban, Ruby Blaut, John Ellison Conlee, Adelind Horan, Maddox Morfit-Tighe, Deirdre O'Connell, Cecilia Ann Popp, Sathya Sridharan, Junru Wang, and Ayana Workman, with understudies Kyle Cameron, Orlagh Cassidy, and Anya Whelan-Smith rounding out the company.
James Macdonald is directing with scenic design by Miriam Buether, costume design by Enver Chakartash, lighting design by Isabella Byrd, sound design by Bray Poor, stunt coordination by Michael Rossmy, and dialect coaching by Amanda Quaid. Caroline Englander will serve as production stage manager with Luisa Sánchez Colón as stage manager.
Glass, Kill, and Imp made their premiere at English Stage Company at the Royal Court Theatre in 2019, with the same company premiering What If If Only in 2021. The latter made its North American premiere with a 2021 remote live performance from National Asian American Theatre Company.
