The theater’s 2019-20 season, announced Thursday, will include the world premiere of Jeffrey Hatcher and Andy Garcia’s adaptation of “Key Largo,” featuring Garcia in the starring role, and Tony Award winner Idina Menzel reprising her role in Joshua Harmon’s “Skintight,” from Sept. 3 through Oct. 6.
“Key Largo,” set to run from Feb. 4 through March 8, 2020, is based on a play by Maxwell Anderson and the 1948 noir film directed by John Huston, and written by Huston and Richard Brooks. “Skintight,” which had its premiere at Roundabout Theater Company last summer, starred Menzel as Jodi, a lawyer struggling with her relationship to her fashion-designer father.
Shakman, the Geffen Playhouse’s artistic director, said in a statement that the coming season “marks some notable firsts for the Geffen — our first Shakespeare production, two world premieres and a coproduction with the dazzlingly inventive Vampire Cowboys” company based in New York.
“Revenge Song: A Vampire Cowboys Creation,” a play with music by Qui Nguyen, will be the season’s second world premiere and its final production. It will run from June 16 through July 19, 2020.
