Atlantic Theater Company presents the American premiere play
THE WELKIN
by Lucy Kirkwood
directed by Sarah Benson
May 16 – June 30, 2024
Linda Gross Theater | 336 West 20th St.
Rural England, 1759. As the country awaits the return of Halley’s comet, a young woman is sentenced to death. When she tries to escape the noose by claiming she is pregnant, twelve ordinary women are gathered to decide whether she is telling the truth. A dark, fierce, funny play about democracy and housework.

The cast features Tilly Botsford (Off-Broadway debut), Hannah Cabell (The Father), Glenn Fitzgerald (The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window), Paige Gilbert (The Skin of Our Teeth), Ann Harada (Into the Woods), Jennifer Nikki Kidwell (Underground Railroad Game), Nadine Malouf (Grief Hotel), Mary McCann (Harper Regan), Emily Cass McDonnell (I’m Revolting), MacKenzie Mercer (Frozen National Tour), Sandra Oh (“The Sympathizer”), Susannah Perkins (The Wolves), Simone Recasner (Ain’t No Mo’), Dale Soules (“Orange Is the New Black”), Danny Wolohan (Camelot), and Haley Wong (Mary Gets Hers).
