Queens tickets

See this illuminating new play from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cost of Living, Martyna Majok. Queens plays at Manhattan Theatre Club, the renowned theatre known for originating hit new plays like Proof and Doubt: A Parable.

See Queens off Broadway and meet multiple generations of immigrant women, all living together in an illegal basement apartment in Queens. There, they look to forge a new life and find a chosen family while also confronting the lives and ghosts they've left behind. Then, a young Ukrainian woman arrives, searching for the mother who abandoned her years ago. In a new land, she forces a reckoning with the impossible choices countless women have made to survive.

Obie Award winner Trip Cullman is no stranger to Manhattan Theatre Club's bold new works; recently, he directed Choir Boy and We Had a World, a New York Times Critics Pick, on its stages. Now, he returns to direct Majok's play about strivers who sacrificed whole lives and cultures.

Majok has a knack for highlighting the lives of characters who are often marginalized, and as such absent from the American theatre. An immigrant herself from Poland, Majok understands the pursuit of the American Dream and the price of living between cultures. Her new play shines a light on the immigrants who make New York special but are often kept in the shadows.

Despite those specificities, critics have noted how Majok finds the universal in her plays and characters. "If you don’t find yourself in someone onstage in Cost of Living you’re not looking," The New York Times wrote of her Pulitzer winner.

Known for her dark humor and individual characters, Majok is a compelling voice who writes startling new plays that demand to be seen.
