FEBRUARY 2016 WELCOME

Welcome to the US Open: the thrilling and unforgettable setting for Anna Ziegler’s The Last Match. This world premiere production marks the culmination of The Old Globe’s long and fruitful relationship with Anna’s play. We included an early version of the script in last season’s New Voices Festival, our annual reading series that brings the best new American writing to . The reading was a tremendous success; we all fell in love with the play—as did the audience— and we quickly programmed it in our 2015-2016 season. To support the play as it moved toward a full production, we DOUGLAS GATES worked closely last summer on a two-week Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. development process for the show with New York Stage and Film, a theatre specializing in new play development and a company with whom we frequently partner on new works. And finally, after more than a year of collaboration, we have the special pleasure of bringing you the world premiere of this funny, fiercely intelligent, and deeply moving play.

That pleasure is only deepened by the return of director Gaye Taylor Upchurch, who oversaw our 2014 production of Laura Marks’s Bethany on this same stage. GT’s sharp eye, impeccable staging, and deep emotional intelligence make her the perfect leader for this process.

Anna herself comes to the Globe fresh off the West End run of her critically acclaimed play Photograph 51, a production that marked the return of actress Nicole Kidman to the stage after 17 years. Anna’s work continues to receive national and international recognition, and we’re delighted to welcome her to the Globe family.

Like the tennis players in The Last Match, these two women are among the best in their field, and they’ve brought their A game for this spectacular event. We hope you enjoy the show!
