Set Sail on a Luxury Cruise Ship in the Workshop Production of Double-Crossed

Limited Engagement Runs August 6 to 15 at AMT Theater

An Official Selection of The 2025 Broadway Bound Festival

New York, N.Y. - Double-Crossed, a captivating new play by Glory Kadigan will have a workshop production at The 2025 Broadway Bound Festival in August. The limited engagement runs August 6 to 15 with a talkback scheduled following the performance on August 8. The production features an accomplished cast of four and is directed by Noel MacDuffie. Double-Crossed is in an official selection of The 2025 Broadway Bound Festival.

When a staff member on a luxury cruise ship is accused of theft by a wealthy guest, the normally unflappable Cruise Director is thrust into a high-stakes game of class warfare, manipulation, and shifting alliances. Her secret affair with the accused, a handsome, poverty-stricken Brazilian struggling to support his ailing mother, threatens to unravel her career, reputation, and moral compass. Meanwhile, her overworked and overlooked assistant watches her superior’s unraveling with quiet calculation, possibly to her own advantage. As tensions rise and loyalties dissolve, the ship speeds toward a reckoning where no one is innocent and everyone has something to lose. Be careful who you leave in your wake.

Double-Crossed features Gabrielle Filloux (The Office! A Musical Parody/The Jerry Orbach Theatre), Jessica Kahler (Black Rabbit/Netflix Fall 2025), Ria Meer (Mr. Burns: The 10th Anniversary Concert Reading/Playwrights Horizons), and Marco Pigossi (Gen V & High Tide/Amazon).
