Girl, Interrupted (2026)

A stage adaptation of Susanna Kaysen’s memoir set inside a 1960s psychiatric hospital. This world-premiere adaptation of Girl, Interrupted, written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Martyna Majok, brings Susanna Kaysen’s memoir to the stage with original music by Aimee Mann and choreography by Sonya Tayeh. The play follows Susanna’s admission to a psychiatric institution, where she navigates an environment that functions as both a safe haven and a source of confinement. As she forms relationships with other young women in the ward, the work examines their efforts to regain structure, autonomy, and a sense of direction within the hospital’s constraints. Directed by Jo Bonney, the production presents a new dramatization of Kaysen’s account.
