Brits Off Broadway is FINALLY back

Co-curated by 59E59 Theaters and London’s New Diorama Theatre, this program bottles the spark, breadth, and electric brilliance of the current UK theater scene. Hotly debated over late night drinks in Scotland and lively zoom calls between New York and London, we couldn’t be prouder of this line-up.

We’re importing many of the most talked about shows from Edinburgh and London. The Fringe First Award-winning Breathless, the experimental storytelling of we were promised honey!, and, the UK’s 2023 Theatre of The Year, Bush Theatre is transferring Nikhil Parmar’s hit play, Invisible Boondog Theatre will also present Orlando, inspired by Virgina Woolf’s legendary novel. Each full of theatrical dynamite and featuring star-making central performances.

After multiple sold-out runs in London, Dexter Flanders’ multi-award winning Foxes highlights London’s British Jamaican community with a powerful family drama about different kinds of love and how they can both trap and free us.

Full of arresting performances and well-earned humor, Foxes interrogates the cultural taboos and gender expectations that shape families and individuals while exploring how living the life you want may mean giving up the life you know.

We are also delighted that Original Theatre Company (Caroline’s Kitchen, 2019) is returning with two new shows, including the US premiere of The Habit Of Art by Alan Bennett who, with a cavalcade of stage and screen blockbusters including The History Boys and The Madness of King George, needs no introduction.

London’s Patch of Blue also returns after premiering the New York Times Critic’s Pick We Live By The Sea in 2018. Based on true stories from interviews with children in the foster care system, Cassie and the Lights uses live music and multimedia theater to keep the playful tone that the company is known for while examining the challenges these families face.

We are thrilled and grateful to bring these and many other exciting new works, featured in the following pages, to you this year. There’s so much more to say but we’d rather let you see for yourself. We hope you’ll agree it was worth the wait. Cheers!
