Stephen Adly Guirgis‘ play THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT, starring Bobby Cannavale, Chris Rock, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Annabella Sciorra and Yul Vázquez, will reunite for the L.A. Theatre Works presentation of the Tony-nominated play Jan. 31 at the James Bridges Theater.
Directed by Anna D. Shapiro, The Motherf**ker with the Hat is presented through Feb. 2.
THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT is a new high-octane, verbal cage match about love, fidelity, and misplaced haberdashery from playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis.
Jackie (Cannavale) and Veronica (Rodriguez) have been in love since the 8th grade. But now, Jackie is on parole and living clean and sober under the guidance of his sponsor, Ralph D (Rock), while still living and loving with his volatile soul mate Veronica (Sciorra) who is fiercely loving, but far from sober. Still, their love is pure. And true. Nothing can come between them – except a hat.
The creative team includes scenic design by Todd Rosenthal, costume design by Mimi O’Donnelland lighting design by Donald Holder.
The original production of The Motherf**ker with the Hat premiered on Broadway in 2011, where it ran for 112 regular performances. It earned Tony Award nominations for Best Play, and acting nominations for Cannavale, Rodriguez and Vazquez.
