Her talent knows no bounds, and Lupita Nyong'o is excited to be making her stage debut in the New York City premiere of Danai Gurira’s drama “Eclipsed.” Slated to begin previews on September 29th, the play will “look at the terrible conflicts in post-colonial Africa with an eye that is both incisive and deeply compassionate.”
Public Theater artistic director Oskar Eustis told press, “A feminist reading of the Liberian Civil War, a war that was ended by women, Eclipsed is both heart-breaking and profoundly life-affirming. We are delighted to welcome the extraordinary Lupita Nyong’o to The Public in this vitally important play.”
