America The Beautiful: Chapter 1 & 2

 

4 Actors, 3 Chapters, 2 Venues, 1 Writer.

This unique, split-venue production unfolds across King’s Head Theatre and Greenwich Theatre, presented as three distinct chapters at two venues. The first plays at King’s Head Theatre from 9–21 March, before transferring to Greenwich Theatre from 31 March–4 April, inviting audiences to encounter a bold collection of short plays in contrasting spaces, each reshaping the emotional and theatrical impact of the work.

In this sensational UK premiere from the writer of In The Company Of Men and The Shape Of Things comes an exclusive collection of savage short plays offering a uniquely skewed view of life and relationships in the modern world.

From the pair of lovers quietly planning a brutal murder in Hate Crime to the first date that goes disastrously wrong in Great Negro Works Of Art to the persuasive charms of the bisexual home wrecker in The Possible, and culminating in a neighbourly challenge that just might destroy the couple upstairs in Saint Louis, these quietly shattering vignettes prove, without a doubt, that “there is no writer on the planet these days who is writing better than Neil Labute” (The New Yorker).

Executive Producer and CEO of Kings Head Theatre’s Sofi Berenger comments "Partnerships like this with Greenwich Theatre Productions are central to how we programme at King’s Head, creating opportunities for our audiences to encounter established voices like Neil LaBute in ne and unexpected ways. By working across two venues, we’re not just sharing a production, but bringing our communities together through a genuinely collaborative theatrical experience."
