The Hatmaker’s Wife
by Lauren Yee
Directed by Dan Rothenberg
JUNE 5 – JUNE 30, 2024
The 23-24 Theater J season wraps up with a production of Lauren Yee’s The Hatmaker’s Wife, directed by Dan Rothenberg, founding member and co-artistic director of Philadelphia’s Pig Iron Theatre Company. Magic and realism collide in this modern fable about learning to love. A young woman moves in with her boyfriend, and when she has trouble getting comfortable, her strange new home seems determined to help out, literally. The walls start to talk, words magically appear, and a golem with a taste for Cheetos gets into the action. A cross between a ghost story and a Yiddish fable, Lauren Yee’s moving and whimsical The Hatmaker’s Wife redefines home, family, and love.
Accessibility: An Open Captioned Performance will take place on Friday, June 21 at 12:00 PM and Sunday, June 23 at 7:30 PM. Learn more about accessibility here.
