The 11-by-11 box of a living space that they share at least has a small skylight that allows some semblance of nature to enter. Director Lenny Abrahamson (working from an adapted script by Donoghue) could not ask for a better pairing than Brie Larson, who continues to find new ways to astonish with her raw honesty, and Jacob Tremblay, a small wonder whose greatest gift is a preternatural ability to never seem as though he is acting. The first two-thirds of “ Room” greatly depend on the ability to build a believable, primal connection between its central characters, known as Ma and Jack, one that at times feels as if the umbilical cord has yet to be severed. The play features set and costume design by Lily Arnold and projection design by Andrzej Goulding.Īdditional casting will be announced at a later date.“ Room's' power to touch audiences, as it clearly did when it won the People’s Choice Award at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, lies in the film’s delicately rendered and highly relatable core relationship. It's why this small-of-budget-yet large-of-heart-drama is being pegged as a deserved awards season contender.

Room is produced on Broadway by Sam Julyan, James Yeoburn, ShowTown Productions and Hunter Arnold. The play comes to Broadway after a 2017 world premiere at the Theatre Royal Stratford East in London and subsequent productions at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, the National Theatre of Scotland, the Grand Theatre in London, Ontario and the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto, Ontario. Larson won the best actress Oscar for her portrayal of Ma. The film adaptation, starring Larson and Jacob Tremblay as Jack, was nominated for four Academy Awards, including best picture. Ma invents games and stories to keep Jack occupied while also plotting her escape. The story follows Ma, who was kidnapped as a teenage girl, and now lives with her 5-year-old son Jack in a room in her captor’s garden. The limited engagement runs through Sept. Room will begin previews at the James Earl Jones Theatre on April 3 and open April 17. This is for all the little Jacks out there determined to hold on to their sense of joy and wonder and all the Mas out there doing their absolute best to live, love and protect through it all.”

“There were many reasons I wanted to join this team in telling this story, but most importantly, I wanted to share this beautifully human bond between a mother and her son. “I am truly honored for the opportunity to return to Broadway in a project unlike anything I’ve done before,” Warren said.
