Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy will reprise their critically acclaimed West End performances when the hit London production of David Hare’s Skylight, directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Stephen Daldry, comes to Broadway this spring.
On a bitterly cold London evening, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis (Carey Mulligan) receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant (Bill Nighy), a successful and charismatic restaurateur.
When Tom’s wife discovered their relationship, Kyra had walked out – on Tom, and their work together at Tom’s restaurant – for a teaching job at a money-starved state school. Now, years later, Tom’s wife is dead; burdened with conflicting emotions – guilt, grief, longing – he has returned to settle unfinished business. But Kyra has built a new life for herself as a dedicated teacher for the under-served youth of the East End, and Tom’s arrival knocks her out of her carefully constructed equanimity As the evening progresses, the two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship, only to find themselves locked in a dangerous battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
TUESDAY & THURSDAY @ 7 PM
WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY @ 8 PM

Reviews

They are hardly a well-matched pair, this couple that has been given such transfixing life in two of the most expert stage performances you’re likely to see for many seasons. As embodied by Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy in the heart-piercing revival of David Hare’s “Skylight,” Kyra Hollis and Tom Sergeant have none of the things in common that usually make for a fine romance.
----New York Times -
FOUR STARS!
.......This might sound like preaching or, worse, allegory—but Hare’s psychological acuity and love of articulate blusterers is too strong: He combines the dialectical relish of Shaw, the cozy-sweater Englishness of Rattigan and the seething outrage of Osborne. All of which means that the material is red meat to actors as fearless and deep-diving as Mulligan and Nighy.....
-----TimeOut NY -
Mulligan is a marvel of quiet strength. She’s been very good in movies such as “An Education” and “The Great Gatsby,” but she truly comes alive onstage. And she does it in such an understated manner that it’d be easy to miss how rich her performance is
