It has been announced that The Old Vic will recreate its theatre-in-the-round for its 2014 season. The layout was first seen for the award-winning 2008 production of The Norman Conquests.
The UK premiere of Jon Robin Baitz’s acclaimed play, Other Desert Cities, directed by Lindsay Posner, will be the first production in the season. Other Desert Cities is described as a "fierce and funny drama deftly exploring family politics, love, loss and redemption". The production opens on Monday 24th March 2014 (previews from 13th March) and runs until Saturday 24th May 2014.
Brooke Wyeth returns to the family home in Palm Springs for the first time in six years with some incendiary news for her Republican parents Polly and Lyman, her brother Trip and her recovering alcoholic aunt Silda. She is about to publish a memoir about her family, exposing a pivotal moment in their painful and explosive past, her actions threatening to push fractured family relations to a point beyond repair.
Other Desert Cities was first seen in 2010 at New York’s Lincoln Center, where it won the Outer Critics’ Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play before enjoying even greater success on Broadway and gaining five nominations for the 2012 Tony Awards. Other Desert Cities was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
