New production photos have been released for the world premiere production of Lloyd Suh's The Far Country. Atlantic Theater Company presents the play Off-Broadway at the Linda Gross Theater where it began previews November 17. Opening night is December 5, with the run scheduled to continue through January 1, 2023.
The play is set in the wake of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was signed into law by President Chester A. Arthur in 188; it follows one family's journey from rural Taishan to California at a time when Chinese laborers have been banned from immigrating to the United States for 10 years.
Eric Ting directs the cast which stars Ben Chase (Mondo Tragic), Jinn S. Kim (Race, Religion & Politics), Whit K. Lee (Assassins), Christopher Liam Moore (All The Way), Shannon Tyo (The Chinese Lady), Amy Kim Waschke, and Eric Yang (Legacy).
The production features scenic design by Clint Ramos, costume design by Junghyun Georgia Lee, lighting design by Jiyoun Chang, sound design by Fan Zhang, wigs, hair, and makeup by Tommy Kurzman, and casting by The Telsey Office's William Cantler, Karyn Casl, and Destiny Lilly. Alyssa K. Howard is production stage manager.
The production is part of the Off-Broadway company's Friel Project, presenting a selection of playwright Brian Friel's plays set in the fictional Ballybeg.
The Alicia Keys musical made its world premiere at the Off-Broadway company and is due to begin performances at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway March 28.
