The Donmar Warehouse has announced the UK premiere of Dominique Morisseau’s play Skeleton Crew.
Morisseau’s 2016 play was nominated for three Tony Awards, including Best Play, for its 2022 Broadway run, and will replace the previously scheduled run of Eboni Booth’s Primary Trust at the Donmar.
Primary Trust has dropped out of their schedule due to “unforeseen circumstances”.
The play will be directed by Olivier Award-winner Matthew Xia (Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen, Hey Duggee – The Live Theatre Show), who was also due to direct Primary Trust.
Skeleton Crew is set in 2008 in Detroit, as one of the city’s last surviving car factories is threatened with closure. A tight-knit group of workers face crushing economic reality. Torn between loyalty to each other and their own self-interest, can they hang on to their dreams, to their ambitions, to hope?
Skeleton Crew will run at the Donmar from 28 June to 24 August 2024.
Casting and further creatives are to be announced.
Currently playing at the Donmar Warehouse is The Human Body by Lucy Kirkwood, starring Keeley Hawes and Jack Davenport. The new play opened this week – read a round-up of reviews.
