""Martyna is a playwright of extraordinary sensitivity and power; Aimee is a songwriter of unparalleled insight and beauty. Together they've created a breathtaking look at women, mental illness and the all-too flawed systems America has created to handle them," said artistic director Oskar Eustis in an official statement. "Heart-breaking, inspiring and profound, under Jo Bonney's magnificent leadership, this is a show unlike any other.""
"We still can't quite picture it, given the moody "vibe" of the 1999 film, but The Public just announced that it will stage the world premiere of a play with songs adaptation of Girl, Interrupted next May. Originally a 1993 memoir by Susanna Kaysen about her experience in a psychiatric hospital, the book was turned into the award-winning film starring Winona Ryder as Kaysen, alongside Angelina Jolie, the late Brittany Murphy, Elisabeth Moss, Whoopi Goldberg and Jared Leto-a stellar cast, indeed."
The Public will stage the world premiere of a play-with-songs adaptation of Girl, Interrupted in May 2026. The adaptation is written by Martyna Majok, features original music by Aimee Mann and will be directed by Jo Bonney. The source material is Susanna Kaysen's 1993 memoir about her time in a psychiatric hospital and the 1999 film adaptation starred Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, Brittany Murphy, Elisabeth Moss, Whoopi Goldberg and Jared Leto. Casting information has not yet been released. The project paused during the pandemic but has resumed, and general ticket sales begin December 17.
