Becky Shaw on Broadway tickets

See this smart, feisty play about sex, ethics, and relationships. A revival returning to Second Stage this season following its raucous debut in 2008, Becky Shaw plays on Broadway this spring at the Hayes Theater. Don't miss this hilarious dark comedy, "a big box of fireworks fizzling and crackling from beginning to end," per The New York Times's rave review.

Experience Becky Shaw on Broadway — Gina Gionfriddo's dynamic play became a Pulitzer Prize finalist thanks to its nuanced depictions of modern women, sex, and humor. Following a quartet of emotionally damaged and dependent young people, Gionfriddo's razor-sharp comedy is a piercing and unrelenting examination of how people navigate all kinds of relationships: between lovers, parents and children, and within themselves.

Critics quickly saw the cleverness and beating heart in this unique hit play: Charles Isherwood reviewed the play for The New York Times, writing it "marks an impressive stride for a writer with a saw-toothed wit and a seductive interest in exploring the rewards and responsibilities of emotional interdependence. Becky Shaw is a thoroughly enjoyable play, suspenseful, witty and infused with an unsettling sense of the potential for psychic disaster inherent in almost any close relationship."

Gionfriddo went on to become a celebrated voice, earning a second Pulitzer Prize nomination for her following play, Rapture, Blister, Burn. Obie Award winner Trip Cullman directs this revival, marking the play's Broadway debut — Cullman has a long history of staging new works, including Unknown Soldier, We Had a World, The Pain of My Belligerence, and others.

Becky Shaw premiered at the Humana Festival in 2008 before opening off Broadway later that year. Now, it's back on stage.
