Richard Armitage, Amy Ryan & More Set for Mike Bartlett's Love, Love, Love Off-Broadway

Stage and screen alums Richard Armitage, Amy Ryan and Alex Hurt will star in the off-Broadway premiere of Love, Love, Love. The play, written by King Charles III’s Mike Bartlett and directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer, will begin performances at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre on September 22. The Roundabout production will open officially on October 19 and run through December 18.

The London-set play weaves through four decades to tell the story of Kenneth (Armitage) and Sandra (Ryan), who connect over their love for marijuana and rock (amongst other things) when Sandra goes on a date with Kenneth’s brother Henry (Hurt) in the late 1960s. Some 23 years later, the two baby boomers struggle to maintain the bonds of marriage and parenthood.

Armitage has appeared on screen in film trilogy The Hobbit as Thorin, as well as Hannibal, Alice Through the Looking Glass, In to the Storm and Captain America: The First Avenger. He received an Olivier nomination last year for The Crucible.

Ryan earned Tony nominations for her performances in Uncle Vanya and A Streetcar Named Desire. Her additional credits include The Women, The Three Sisters, The Sisters Rosensweig on stage and Central Intelligence, Bridge of Spies, Louder than Bombs, Birdman and The Office on screen.

Hurt’s previous stage credits include Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Dada Woof Papa Hot, Placebo, Scenes from a Marriage, The Caucasian Chalk Circle and Unrequited.

In addition to Armitage, Ryan and Hurt, the cast will include Emmy nominee Zoe Kazan (Olive Kitteridge) as Rose and Ben Rosenfield (Indignation) as Jamie. The production will feature sets by Derek McLane, costumes by Susan Hilferty, lighting design by David Lander and sound design by Kai Harada.
