News Pan Am Flight 103 Play The Women Of Lockerbie Delays First Preview to March 22 The upcoming co-production of The Women Of Lockerbie by The New Group and The Women’s Project and Productions have delayed its first preview from March 18 to March 22.

The limited Off-Broadway engagement at the Theatre @ St. Clement’s owes its delay to more technical time for the show's sets. The show is still set to open April 2 for a run through May 11.

Based on actual events, The Women of Lockerbie follows two New Jersey parents on their trip to Lockerbie, Scotland, where their son perished aboard Pan Am Flight 103 seven years prior. In search of closure, the couple find the women of the town who attempt to recover the victims' clothing, which are being held by the U.S. government, and return them to the families of those who died.

The tragedy of Pan Am Flight 103 took place on Dec. 21, 1988 when the plane exploded over Lockerbie, killing 259 passengers and 11 people on the ground. Families of the victims of the nearly 15-year-old disaster are still seeking compensation.

Judith Ivey stars in the play written by Deborah Brevoort and directed by Wilson Milam. The cast also includes Larry Pine (Wrong Mountain), Jenny Sterlin (Major Barbara), Kathleen Doyle (The Odd Couple), Angela Pietropinto (Tartuffe: Born Again), Adam Trese (A View From the Bridge) and Kristin Sieh (Aquila Theater Company’s The Iliad: Book I).

Ivey recently starred in the Broadway revival of Follies. Her other numerous theatre credits include Voices in the Dark, Piaf, Blithe Spirit, Precious Sons, Park Your Car in Harvard Yard, Hurlyburly and Steaming. The actress garnered Tony Award nominations for the latter three works, winning for final two. The design team for The Women of Lockerbie includes Derek McLane (set), Jason Lyons (lighting), Ken Travis (sound) and Mattie Ullrich (costumes). The dialect coach is Stephen Gabis.
