2023 Olivier Award nominee Liz Kingsman will make her New York stage debut this summer, with the U.S premiere of her acclaimed solo play, One Woman Show, at Greenwich House Theater from 14 June-11 August.

Directed by Adam Brace, One Woman Show transfers to New York this summer following an extended run at Ambassadors Theatre in London’s West End – ignited by “feverish word-of-mouth and unanimous five-star reviews” (The Independent) – and sold-out global engagements at Soho Theatre (London), Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Sydney Opera House, and Malthouse Theatre in Melbourne.

Joining Brace on the creative team for the play’s U.S premiere are​​ set designer Chloe Lamford, lighting designer Daniel Carter-Brennan, sound designer Max Perryment and choreographer Joshua Lay.

So unflinching, you’ll be begging for a flinch. “Wildly inventive and ceaselessly funny,” Liz Kingsman’s Olivier Award-nominated One Woman Show is an “exquisitely observed send-up of an idea of womanhood that has dominated popular culture” (The Times). In a “masterpiece” of social satire that delivers “breathless, blistering, pitch-perfect comic critique of contemporary archetypes” (Evening Standard), One Woman Show was deemed “the hands-down funniest show of the year” by The Guardian, driven by Kingsman’s “tour de force” West End debut that “rendered its audience punch-drunk…with the excitement that comes when a bold voice, beautiful show-construction and a brilliant sense of humour combine.”

Liz Kingsman said: “I am thrilled to bring this show to New York, the spiritual home of one-woman shows. Perhaps, in some sense, the piece has always existed there. And perhaps, in a very real sense, it hasn’t. I’m not interested in that distinction. I’m interested in storytelling. And I’m interested in spending the summer in New York City.”
