Previews & Openings

‘ADRIENNE TRUSCOTT’S (STILL) ASKING FOR IT’ at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater (previews start on Sept. 20; opens on Oct. 3). Subtitled “A Stand-Up Rape About Comedy” (plus some more words that aren’t publishable), this update of the cabaret performer’s 2015 show approaches gendered violence and toxic masculinity with savage wit and a surprising number of brassieres. Bring your own rape whistle! Ellie Heyman directs.

‘DUBLIN CAROL’ at the Irish Repertory Theater (previews start on Sept. 20; opens on Oct. 1). Before Conor McPherson’s “Girl From the North Country” transfers to Broadway, audiences can catch the Irish Rep’s revival of this drama, which made its stateside debut at the Atlantic Theater Company in 2003. Set on Christmas Eve, the spare, talky play stars Jeffrey Bean as an undertaker’s assistant muddling through a hangover and an encounter with his estranged daughter (Sarah Street). Ciaran O’Reilly directs.

‘THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM’ at the Samuel J. Friedman Theater (in previews; opens on Sept. 24). Having already introduced New York to “The Mother” and “The Father,” the French playwright Florian Zeller brings another familial tempest to Broadway. Jonathan Pryce and Eileen Atkins reprise the roles they played in London, those of a long married couple, one of whom might be dead. Jonathan Kent directs.
