Mark Ravenhill's immodestly-monikered Shopping and Fucking, makes its return to the New York stage as it plays Off-Off-Broadway's Theatre 22 Feb. 28-March 24. Broadway actor Jeffrey Landman and downtown favorite Susan O'Connor star in the production.
Successful in both London and Off-Broadway, the play centers on three misguided youths who are trying to break free from addiction. In a world of drugs, prostitution, greed, and yes, shopping and fucking, the lost trio search for love and to be loved.
Landman made his Broadway debut at age ten in Les Misérables and also played in Falsettos. O'Connor has starred in productions of Daniel MacIvor's Never Swim Alone and See Bob Run — which both enjoyed transfers from OOB to OB. Also featured in the cast is Jay Aubrey, Marc Gellar, and Kelly Miller. Blake Lawrence directs the production.
The creative team includes Marisa Lowenstein (sets), Daniel Ordower (lighting) and Antoinette Martinez (costumes and fight choreography).
