seven methods of killing kylie jenner by Jasmine Lee-Jones to premiere at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company
Published on Fri 1 Oct 2021The Royal Court Theatre’s production of seven methods of killing kylie jenner by Jasmine Lee-Jones will have its Regional Premiere at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Washington, DC. Directed by Milli Bhatia, this Gen Z take on “keeping up” with social media, cancel culture, and the rise of a certain internet celebrity will have its premiere in early 2022.
“It was the brilliant playwright Aleshea Harris who first recommended the work of Jasmine Lee-Jones to me. I can honestly say I have never read anything like seven methods of killing kylie jenner, which takes on the shadowy world of social media, complete with memes literally written into the script,” says Maria Manuela Goyanes, Artistic Director. “Jasmine not only captures the alacrity with which information is absorbed, she also reminds us what a terrifying place the Internet can be. At the heart of this strikingly original play is an intimate story about two best friends, hilariously and beautifully drawn, trying to find their way back to each other. Under the inspired direction of Vicky Featherstone and Lucy Davies, the Royal Court in London is one of my favorite theatres in the world, and I’m thrilled to be able to bring their astounding production to our audiences in the DMV.”
seven methods of killing kylie jenner was first commissioned as part of The Andrea Project and opened at the Royal Court in July 2019, supported by Jerwood Arts. Casting, ticketing information and run dates will be announced at a later date.
