The Last Match (2017 Off-Broadway)
Choose options
Anna Ziegler’s 'The Last Match' arrived Off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre in 2017 under the auspices of the Roundabout Theatre Company, standing as a blisteringly fast, hyper-articulate athletic masterwork of the contemporary season. The intense, real-time psychological thriller unfolds entirely inside the sweltering, high-stakes stadium court of the U.S. Open tennis semifinals, tracking an aging American titan and a hyper-ambitious young Russian challenger as they engage in a brutal five-set battle of wills, turning each point into a mental crucible unpeeling their private anxieties, marriages, and childhood failures. Directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, it starred Wilson Bethel.
