Jake Gyllenhaal & Tom Sturridge to Perform Solo Plays in One Exciting Evening of Theater

Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Sturridge are joining forces for the upcoming Off-Broadway premiere of Sea Wall/A Life.

While the guys will both appear on stage throughout the evening, they are performing in different plays.

Tom will star in Sea Wall, a monologue about love and the human need to know the unknowable. It was written by Simon Stephens, who is the playwright who wrote The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and Heisenberg.

Jake will appear in A Life, a meditation on how we say goodbye to those we love most. It was written by playwright Nick Payne, who previously wrote the plays Constellations and If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet. Jake starred in both of those plays as well.

Sea Wall/A Life, directed by Carrie Cracknell, begins performances on January 26 in New York City.
