Michael McKeever's unflinching look at the nature of love was a hit Off-Broadway, and now it heads to London for a limited season, kicking off in December.
Artwork for Daniel's Husband.
Directed by Alan Souza, Daniel's Husband follows Daniel and Mitchell. Living a meticulously curated life, the duo has successful careers, a beautifully appointed home, devoted friends, and a profound love for one another. But when an unexpected crisis jeopardises their boundlessly bright future, it shakes the foundations of their relationship and tests the strength of their devotion.
Alan Souza said “I always think the best plays allow a wealth of insight into the human condition, acting as powerful stimulants for personal reflection and evolution. At its core, DANIEL’S HUSBAND seems both a humanist parable as well as a persuasive polemic for marriage. It challenges audiences in essential ways, urging us to confront and re-evaluate our most personal ideas of what family means. Intricately layered and emotionally gripping, I look forward to bringing the play to London audiences.”
The production received its world premiere at Wilton Manors' Island City Stage back in 2015. The show won three Carbonell Awards, including Best New Work. Three years later, the show made its way to Cherry Lane Theatre in New York City, where it was nominated for an Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best New Work and returned in 2018 to New York City in a commercial production at the Westside Theatre Upstairs. It has since had various productions across the United States and around the world.
Daniel's Husband will include set & costume design by Lee Newby, lighting design by Jamie Platt, sound design by Sarah Weltman, casting by Arthur Carrington, artwork by Steph Pyne Design, general management by James Steel Productions and production management by Charlie Rayner for Production Solutions Group. Daniel's Husband is produced by Plastered Productions LTD and executive produced by James Steel.
Cast for the UK premiere is to be announced.
Daniel's Husband will play at the Marylebone Theatre from 4 December 2025 - 10 January 2026.
