ABOUT

Plaza is Roberta, a divorcée with a teenage son, while Abbott plays Danny, a brooding loner who lives with his mother. Both are haunted by their pasts, and when the two strangers sidle up to a bar in the Bronx, they compare scars over beers. The unlikely pair uncover their deepest, darkest truths, carving out space for empathy — and maybe more.

"Danny and the Deep Blue Sea" is a gripping, early drama from John Patrick Shanley, the celebrated writer of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning "Doubt: A Parable."

Lucille Lortel Theatre

The Lucille Lortel Theatre is an off-Broadway playhouse situated at 121 Christopher Street in Manhattan's iconic West Village. Originally constructed in 1926 as the New Hudson, a 590-seat movie theater, the venue later evolved into the Hudson Playhouse in the 1940's — and then was converted into a playhouse in 1952. Remarkably, the interior has remained largely unchanged to this day.
