Lucas Hnath's documentary play Dana H., starring Deirdre O'Connell, ends its Broadway run November 28. The play opened October 17 at the Lyceum Theatre after beginning previews October 1.

Les Waters directed the play, which details the playwright's mother's real-life kidnapping by a patient in the psych ward where she worked as a chaplain. Hnath constructed the script from interviews with Dana Higginbotham that were conducted by Steve Cosson, artistic director of the investigative theatre company The Civilians.

Dana H. ran in repertory with Is This A Room, Tina Satter's play about the FBI interrogation of whistle blower Reality Winner. Both plays announced an early closure for mid-November, but strong ticket sales granted each a two-week extension. Is This A Room closed November 27.
