Tickets are now on sale for the New York premiere of These Paper Bullets!, featuring music by Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. The modern adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing will begin performances on November 20 and run through January 10, 2016 at off-Broadway’s Linda Gross Theater.
Adapted by Rolin Jones and directed by Jackson Gay, These Paper Bullets! follows four Liverpool band members (the Quartos—get it?) who have seven days to find true love and cut an album—as their former drummer attempts to destroy them.
The show first premiered at Yale Repertory Theatre in 2014 and is currently playing the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles. Casting for the Atlantic Theater off-Broadway engagement will be announced later.
