A Simulacrum, the newest play from Tony nominee Lucas Hnath, has extended its Off-Broadway run at Atlantic Theater Company. The production, which officially opened June 14 after beginning performances May 25, will now continue through July 9.
A metaplay, A Simulacrum explores when illusionist Steve Cuiffo showed Hnath a series of magic tricks while the pair were collaborating on Dana H. The piece stars Cuiffo, and features direction by Hnath.
A Simulacrum features scenic design by Louisa Thompson, costume design by Qween Jean, lighting design by Tyler Micoleau, and sound design by Mikhail Fiksel.
Created and performed by Sydney-based comedian and visual artist Sam Kissajukian, the show comes to New York directly from a sold-out engagement at Edinburgh Fringe Festival
