Overview
- The Second Stage production opened Thursday at the Pershing Square Signature Center’s Irene Diamond Stage and is set to run through May 24.
- Katie Finneran stars as Beverly with Mallori Johnson, Nael Nacer and Will Pullen in a staging directed by Sarah Benson.
- Coverage highlights a mid-play visit from a Central Office emissary that shifts the piece from office comedy to unease without giving away the turn.
- Reviewers say the 75–80 minute length and upbeat tone dilute the play’s darker allegory about post‑9/11 complicity in institutional harm.
- Designers earn strong notice for creating a crisp, sterile world, with sets by dots, costumes by Enver Chakartash, and precise sound and lighting by Bray Poor and Stacey Derosier.
