Jerome Tickets

Get Jerome tickets on New York Theatre Guide to be among the first to see this exciting premiere play about gay relationships, isolation, and surviving in the harshest of deserts. Jerome in New York marks writer John J. Caswell Jr.'s return to Playwrights Horizons after his hit production Wet Brain, directed by Dustin Wills who won an Obie Award for that triumphant work and reunites with Caswell Jr. on this new play. Jerome plays for a limited time only this spring on 42nd Street at Playwrights' Judith O. Rubin Theater.

Love and loss fuels Jerome, another haunted, intimate play by Caswell, Jr. The playwright brings a wealth of heart and candor to the story of an aging gay couple in an Arizona mountainside ghost town in the early 1990s as they reshape their relationship around a third: a visitor from New York, itself becoming a ghost town during the AIDS epidemic.

Speaking on behalf of this Playwrights Horizons' current season, which opened with the smash hit and extended Nothing Can Take You From the Hand of God, Artistic Director Adam Greenfield said in a statement that the season is "a wild mash-up of works on both grand and intimate scales, each one fresh-eyed and curious, urgent and relentlessly human."

Relentlessly human describes the writing of Caswell Jr., winner of Paula Vogel Playwriting Award. As in Wet Brain, his characters in Jerome exhibit a desire to better know each other as they are simultaneously forced together and torn apart.

Wills is a remarkable director known for creating stage magic: in Wet Brain, actors hung in midair against a sideways-turned set. Now, more spells will be cast in this intimate three-hander about the joy and consequences of a stranger coming to town. Tickets to Jerome in New York City will be available here soon.
