Events Description
The play is set in a diner/bus stop in rural Kansas, outside Kansas City, MO in early March 1955. A freak snowstorm has halted the bus, and the eight characters (five on the bus) have a weather-enforced layover in the diner in the early hours of the morning. Romantic and quasi-romantic relationships play out.
Bus Stop opened on March 2, 1955 and closed on April 21, 1956, running for a total of 478 performances and nominated for four Tony Awards. A broad adaptation was filmed in 1956, featuring Marilyn Monroe.
The play received major revivals in the United States and United Kingdom in 2010 and 2011, whenThe Guardian wrote of a production at the New Vic that:
“there is something beguiling about this slice of Americana, which mediates on the distances between towns and the distances between people, like an Edward Hopper painting with dialogue.”
