Tickets Are Now on Sale for the Public Theater's Girl From the North Country, Mother of the Maid, Eve's Song and Wild Goose Dreams

Tickets are on sale for the first four productions of the Public Theater's 2018-2019 season: Girl From the North Country, Mother of the Maid, Eve's Song and Wild Goose Dreams. The previously announced works will appear at the Public's downtown space located on Lafayette Street.

The North American premiere of Girl From the North Country (September 11-November 4, 2018) follows a sold-out run at London's Old Vic and a West End transfer. Written and directed by Conor McPherson and featuring the songbook of Bob Dylan, the show follows a down-on-its-luck community on the brink of change in 1934 Duluth, Minnesota. The production will star Marc Kudisch, Mare Winningham, Stephen Bogardus, David Pittu, Caitlin Houlahan, Colton Ryan, Todd Almond, Jeannette Bayardelle, Sydney James Harcourt, Robert Joy, Luba Mason, Tom Nelis and Samantha Marie Ware.

Glenn Close leads the New York premiere play Mother of the Maid (September 25-November 18, 2018), written by Jane Anderson and directed by Matthew Penn. The play tells the story of Joan of Arc’s mother (Close), a sensible, hard-working, God-fearing peasant woman whose faith is upended as she deals with the baffling journey of her odd and extraordinary daughter.

Eve's Song (October 23-December 2, 2018), a world premiere work written by Patricia Ione Lloyd and directed by Jo Bonney, follows Deborah, who, in the aftermath of a messy divorce and a daughter coming out as queer, is trying to keep things normal at home. But as black people continue to be killed beyond their four walls, the outside finds its way in, blurring the lines between family dynamics, politics and the spirit world.

The New York premiere Wild Goose Dreams (October 30-December 9, 2018), written by Hansol Jung and directed by Leigh Silverman, centers on Minsung, a South Korean man whose wife and daughter have moved to America for a better life. Deeply lonely, he escapes onto the Internet and meets Nanhee, a young defector forced to leave her family behind in North Korea. Amid the endless noise of the modern world, where likes and shares have taken the place of love and touch, Minsung and Nanhee try their best to be real for each other.

Additional casting for the Public season is forthcoming.
