DOG DAY AFTERNOON: A New Play

🔥🗽 DOG DAY AFTERNOON: A New Play — True Crime Comes Alive on Broadway 🗽🔥

One of the most infamous true crime stories in American history explodes onto the Broadway stage in DOG DAY AFTERNOON: A New Play—a raw, high-stakes theatrical event that captures New York City at its most volatile.

Set during the blistering summer of 1972, this gripping drama drops audiences into a city on edge. The Vietnam War dominates the national conscience. Watergate scandals flood the headlines. Tempers are short, trust is thin, and desperation simmers just below the surface. When one impulsive act spirals into a public spectacle, the result is a tense, unpredictable showdown that rivets the entire nation.

Emmy Award® winner Jon Bernthal (The Bear, The Odyssey) delivers a ferocious, deeply human performance alongside two-time Emmy Award® winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear, The Fantastic Four: First Steps). Together, they bring grit, dark humor, and emotional complexity to a story that blurs the line between crime, media frenzy, and personal desperation.

Adapted for the stage by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis (Between Riverside and Crazy) and directed by two-time Olivier Award winner Rupert Goold (King Charles III), this Broadway premiere reimagines the legendary film as an immersive, pressure-cooker drama. The audience becomes a witness—trapped inside the chaos as tension mounts, emotions fracture, and the truth reveals itself in devastating ways.

Urgent, visceral, and unmistakably New York, DOG DAY AFTERNOON is essential viewing for fans of true crime, gritty drama, and bold Broadway storytelling. This is not nostalgia—it’s history reexamined with modern urgency, reminding us what happens when passion, identity, and desperation collide in the public eye.
