Well, I’ll Let You Go: Emily Davis, Quincy Tyler Bernstine Production photos by Emilio Madrid

PF: Well, I’ll Let You Go @ The Space at Irondale (Brooklyn), through September 12, 2025
Fresh from winning a Drama Desk Award for Ken Urban’s Danger and Opportunity, Obie winner Jack Serio is set to direct Bubba Weiler’s Well, I’ll Let You Go at The Space at Irondale (85 S Oxford St, Brooklyn). This new American play, which marks Weiler’s professional playwriting debut

Tony nominee Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Obie winner Michael Chernus (Apple TV’s Severance, Peacock’s Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy) lead an ensemble cast that includes Cricket Brown (Judgment Day, Park Avenue Armory), Will Dagger (Good Night, and Good Luck), Lortel and Obie winner Emily Davis (Is This A Room), Danny McCarthy (The Minutes, To Kill a Mockingbird), Drama Desk nominee Constance Shulman (The Rose Tattoo, Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black), and Amelia Workman (American Son, The Antiquities).

Set in a small Midwestern town, Well, I’ll Let You Go is a portrait of a woman and a community in crisis. Alternately vast and personal in scope, shifting backwards and forwards in time, this expansive, yet incredibly intimate, debut play sifts through the rubble of a town, a marriage, and a life built on an American Dream that’s crumbled.
