Vivienne Acheampong, Mark Edel-Hunt, Chris New and Jack Tarlton will star in the first stage adaptation of a Paul Auster novel in the UK, City of Glass, a brand new production by Tony Award-winning 59 Productions in a co-production with HOME, Manchester (March 4 to 18) and Lyric Hammersmith (April 20 to May 13).
As Auster turns 70 and The New York Trilogy, his first work of prose fiction, marks three decades in publication, the first part of this celebrated trilogy will be staged in Manchester and London ahead of its international tour.
City of Glass will be brought to life in an original stage adaptation by 59 Productions (An American in Paris, War Horse, David Bowie Is) and Olivier Award-nominated playwright Duncan Macmillan (Every Brilliant Thing, 1984, People, Places and Things).
Mark Edel-Hunt and Chris New will play Daniel Quinn, the reclusive crime writer who unwittingly becomes the protagonist in a real-life thriller of his own after receiving a mysterious phone call in the middle of the night.
