Someone Who'll Watch Over Me
Choose options
Frank McGuinness’s brilliant contemporary drama 'Someone Who'll Watch Over Me' arrived at the Booth Theatre in 1992, running for an accomplished 96 performances and capturing a major Tony Award nomination for Best Play following its hit West End run. The claustrophobic, textually rich naturalistic tragedy unfolds entirely inside a sterile, windowless cell room in Beirut, Lebanon, tracking three captive hostages—an American, an Irishman, and an Englishman—who forge an unbreakable bond of resilience and wit to survive psychological trauma. Directed by Robin Lefèvre, it starred Michael Gambon.
