Two-time Oscar nominee Michael Shannon, who received a 2016 Tony nomination for his performance as James Tyrone Jr., in the Broadway revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night, is co-producing Brett Neveu's new play Revolution Off-Broadway this spring.
Directed by Rebecca Harris, performances are scheduled for May 15-June 7 at The Flea Theatre's Siggy Space.
The cast will feature Natalie West (Roseanne, The Conners) as Georgia, Clarissa Thibeaux (Marvel’s Runaways, Gentefied) as Puff, and Anna Basse (DUMMIES) as Jame.
Revolution is set on Puff’s 26th birthday, and she’s celebrating it in the alley behind her hair salon. Joined by best
friend and fellow stylist Jame and the unexpected company of Georgia, a
“Dress for Less” employee, this
birthday hangout takes a turn.
The creative team also includes lighting designer Heather Gilbert, set and props designer Chris Fields, sound designer John Gromada, costume designer Lauren Carmen, props designer Cailey B. Harwood-Smith, stage manager Lucy Houlihan, and assistant stage manager Megan Ciszek.
The 90-minute intermissionless play was previously seen in Chicago in 2023.
Shannon (Shape of Water, Nocturnal Animals, Revolutionary Road, Boardwalk Empire, Knives Out) produces with Neveu and Becky Creech. Sophia Englesberg is the associate producer, and Zachary Hausman is the executive producer.
