The U.K.-originated staging, adapted and directed by Emma Rice, includes puppets, songs, incidental music, dance, melodrama, film projections and comedy to create a unique hybrid. The Roundabout Theatre Company presentation, in association with David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers and Cineworld, is a limited engagement to Dec. 5.
According to Roundabout, Brief Encounter "is an imaginative new work that combines elements of Noël Coward's beloved screenplay, and the one-act play [Still Life] on which it was based, with song, dance and Technicolor displays of emotion."
Ticket prices range from $37-$127. Call Roundabout Ticket Services at (212) 719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the Studio 54 box office (254 W. 54th Street).
