THEATER
The Creditors at BAM. Directed by Alan Rickman, this fiercely modern battle of the sexes comes to BAM following a sold-out run at London’s Donmar Warehouse (RED, Jude Law’s Hamlet, Frost/Nixon). A darkly comic tale of vengeance, jealousy, and psychological warfare, Creditors unfolds as a young husband (Tom Burke, in his New York debut), anxiously awaiting the return of his new wife (Olivier Award-nominee Anna Chancellor), falls under the sway of a mysterious stranger (Tony Award-winner Owen Teale).
Asylum, a new monologue by the very funny and smart James Braly, directed by Seth Barrish, plays tonight and tomorrow, Friday & Saturday, @ 8pm at the amazing NEW Dixon Place. Braly calls it “a darkly humorous autobiographical adventure into territory you may have visited in your own life: the place you go to escape it all. In case of terrifying flashbacks, the sedative effects of the delightful NEW Dixon Place bar are right upstairs.” Tickets ONLY $10 INCLUDING FREE ONE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION TO TIME OUT NY if you use this link: https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/722815/prm/Spring
