The world premiere of Sunday, a new play by Harry Potter and the Cursed Child playwright Jack Thorne, begins performances at Atlantic Theater Company September 4. In the new play, directed by Obie winner Lee Sunday Evans (In the Green), friends gather in a New York apartment for a book group. Anxious to prove their intellectual worth, their anxiety gets the better of any actual discussion as emotional truths come pouring out.
The cast is made up of Juliana Canfield (Succession, The House That Will Not Stand), Ruby Frankel (Off-Broadway debut; NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Atlantic Acting School 2017), Maurice Jones (Saint Joan, The Cherry Orchard), Zane Pais (Dead Poets Society), Sadie Scott (Downtown Race Riot), and Christian Strange (Off-Broadway debut).
