About

Theater for the New City and MLC Studio brings A Girl Lives Alone, a play by Toronto-based playwright Jessica Moss to TNC for a limited engagement May 28th – 31st. Marion has uprooted her life and moved to New York in the wake of a break-up, only to find a girl has been found dead in her walk-up apartment building. Soon after, the events in the building begin to mirror the mystery podcast she can’t pull away from, and her life begins to feel like she’s trapped in a Hitchcock film. The lives of the other tenants– and the mysterious noises upstairs– start to close in on her, blurring the line between what is real and what lives only in her imagination. Does living close to others keep us safe, or put us in danger?
