August Wilson Theatre
245 W 52nd St, New York, NY 10019
Step back into the sweltering summer of 1972, New York City—a time when the Vietnam War looms large, Watergate headlines flood the news and one man’s desperate act captivates the nation. Emmy Award winner Jon Bernthal and two-time Emmy Award winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach ignite the stage with grit, heart and humor. Witness the gut-wrenching twist as it unfolds, immersing you in the unfiltered chaos of a man—and a city—on the edge.

With masterful direction by two-time Olivier Award winner Rupert Goold and written for the stage by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Stephen Adly GuirgisDog Day Afternoon is a raw, gritty reminder of what happens when passion and desperation collide.
