Kin
Mainstage Theater
Written by
Bathsheba Doran
Directed by Sam Gold
Anna, an Ivy League poetry scholar, and Sean, an Irish personal trainer, hardly seem destined for one another. But as their web of disparate family and friends crosses great distances – both psychologically and geographically – an unlikely new family is forged. Bathsheba Doran's play sheds a sharp light on the changing face of kinship in the expansive landscape of the modern world.

“CRITICS' PICK! Simply terrific. Perhaps the finest new play of the season. Funny and audacious, haunting, and exquisitely wrought. A superlative cast, directed by Sam Gold with his customary grace.”
— Charles Isherwood, New York Times“Raucous comedy, poignant emotion — "Kin" does all that and more, establishing Bathsheba Doran as a major talent. The ensemble delivers vividly memorable performances. You’ll fall in love.”
— Frank Scheck, New York Post
“FOUR STARS! A smashing cast and bravura direction by Sam Gold.”
— David Cote, Time Out New York
