AN ARK is a genre-defying production, transforming universal human experiences into a profoundly intimate, one-of-a-kind, theatrical performance by the ensemble cast of Ian McKellen (Film: Lord of the Rings, X-Men; Stage: Richard III, Amadeus), Golda Rosheuvel (Bridgerton), Arinzé Kene (Misty, Get Up, Stand Up!), and Rosie Sheehy (Machinal, Old Vic).

 

“Don't panic
Don't be scared.
This must feel strange to you.
It felt strange to me…”
—An Ark
