Who Says Radio Is Dead? The Killing of Sister George Opens Off-Broadway

Just be glad you’re not in a Shonda Rhimes show. The Killing of Sister George celebrates its opening night on October 7 at Theatre Row’s Beckett Theatre. Drew Barr directs the first New York revival of Frank Marcus’ play. Caitlin O’Connell leads a cast that also includes Cynthia Harris, Darrie Lawrence and Margot White.

In The Killing of Sister George, gin-swilling, cigar-chomping June Buckridge (O’Connell) plays the beloved Sister George on the popular BBC Radio drama, Applehurst. When it looks like BBC executives might kill off Sister George to raise ratings, June’s precarious personal world heads into a tailspin.

The off-Broadway production will play a limited engagement through November 1.
