NEW YORK -- Thursday is opening night for an award-winning new Broadway play.

"Hangmen," starring "Game of Thrones" actor Alfie Allen, is running at the John Golden Theatre.

Set in a pub in England in the mid 1960s, it's a dark comedy in which customers are intrigued by capital punishment.

"Hangmen" was highly acclaimed in London and ran off-Broadway in 2018.

The play had 13 preview performances in 2020 before the pandemic forced Broadway to shut down.
