Alex Kingston and Sarah Hadland star in this award-winning and bitingly funny new comedy from the writer of acclaimed hit ‘Bad Jews’, direct from New York’s Lincoln Center Theater (LCT), the producers of Oslo.
Following its hugely successful run at LCT, Admissions opened at London’s Trafalgar Studios on 28 February for a limited season and will soon embark on a UK tour calling at The Lowry from Mon 17 – Sat 22 June. The production is directed by Daniel Aukin.
The New York production received huge critical acclaim during its LCT run, with The New York Times describing the show as “astonishing and daring”, The Hollywood Reporter calling the show “smart, hilarious and provocative”. Theatre Mania hailed it “a scorching new drama… lands like a gut-punch“ and Time Out New York raved about the play, awarding it four stars. Admissions also won the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Play.
Sherri (Alex Kingston) is the Head of Admissions at a private school, fighting to diversify the student intake and she wants you to know about it. When her son is deferred from his university of choice, and his best friend – who ‘ticks more boxes’ – is accepted, Sherri’s personal ambition collides with her progressive values.
