And Then We Were No More, a new play written by Tim Blake Nelson (Socrates, The Grey Zone), officially opened Off-Broadway at La MaMa September 28, and the reviews are rolling in!

Directed by Obie winner Mark Wing-Davey (Mad Forest), the production features Elizabeth Marvel (King Lear, Other Desert Cities), Scott Shepherd (Ulysses, Bridge of Spies), Jennifer Mogbock (Half-God of Rainfall, Merry Wives), Henry Stram (Titanic, The Elephant Man), Elizabeth Yeoman (Airtime, The Children’s Hour), William Appiah (Fences, Hamlet), E.J. An (A Dream of Red Pavilions; Clubhouse), Kasey Connolly (Four Women Entering Paradise, FBI), and Craig Wesley Divino (London Assurance, Round Table).

"When I read Tim's urgent and remarkable new play, I knew I wanted to bring this story to the stage, and La MaMa is the perfect partner and venue to do so,” said Carol Ostrow, who produces with La MaMa via Stop the Wind Theatricals. “And Then We Were No More invites audiences to grapple with thorny questions we are often too afraid to ask. I couldn’t be more excited to work with Tim and the entire creative team on this prescient, thought-provoking work.”
The limited engagement has scenic design by David Meyer, lighting design by Reza Behjat, costume design by Marina Draghici, and sound design by Henry Nelson and Will Curry.
