Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, An Inspector Calls), the West End import began performances March 13 for a 13-week limited engagement through June 21. Opening night was April 2 at the John Golden Theatre.

Skylight is nominated for seven 2015 Tony Award nominations, including Best Revival of a Play, Best Actress in a Play (Mulligan), Best Actor in a Play (Nighy), Best Featured Actor in a Play (Beard), Best Director of a Play (Daldry), Best Scenic Design of a Play (Bob Crowley) and Best Lighting Design of a Play (Natasha Katz).

Here's how it's billed: "On a bitterly cold London evening, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis (Mulligan) receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant (Nighy), a successful and charismatic restaurateur whose wife has recently died. As the evening progresses, the two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship, only to find themselves locked in a dangerous battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires."

Skylight is designed by Bob Crowley with lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Paul Arditti and original music by Paul Englishby.

The production played to sold-out houses when it opened in the West End in June. National Theatre Live broadcast the production Oct. 23, 2014. Skylight is produced on Broadway by Robert Fox and Scott Rudin.

Theatregoers will note that the Playbill for Skylight features a unique look especially for this production.
