Lupita Nyong'o stars in "Pre-Existing Condition," a play about domestic abuse
The Guardian reviews Marin Ireland's drama at Greenwich House Theater in New York, featuring a rotating cast of acclaimed actors.
"Pre-Existing Condition" centers on a woman dealing with the aftermath of a breakup triggered by domestic violence. The play, which premiered in 2024 at Connelly Theater Upstairs, features a 75-minute runtime following a character referred to as "A" as she navigates legal and personal complications after an incident that occurred across state lines without police involvement.
The current production at Greenwich House Theater features Lupita Nyong'o in the lead role, with subsequent casting including Phillipa Soo, Susannah Flood, Hari Nef, Edie Falco and Whitney White. According to The Guardian, the rotating cast approach serves as a strength for Marin Ireland's "masterfully nuanced" script.
