Next Door at NYTW / 4th St Theatre
83 East 4th Street, New York City, NY 10003
A new play inspired by one of Britain's greatest comic writers, on mischief, love, war, and the meaning of life.
Award-winning children's author Katherine Rundell's first play, developed with director Jessica Lazar, premiered at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe, where it won the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award 2016.

Saki was the pen name of early-twentieth-century satirist Hector Hugh Munro. Somewhere between Oscar Wilde and Roald Dahl, Saki’s creations are witty, absurd, and peculiarly optimistic.

?1916. In the trenches of the Somme, a soldier tells stories. That soldier is Saki. His stories tell of misrule and rebellion, thwarted desire, charm and chaos, friendship and jealousy, and, finally, death.
