‘The Headlands’ is a noir-inspired crime mystery set in the playwright’s hometown, San Francisco.
Johnny M. Wu stars as George in Christopher Chen’s noir-style drama “The Headlands,” getting its West Coast premiere at American Conservatory Theater.Though it’s named after the Marin Headlands, “The Headlands” is a San Francisco play through and through.
In part the visual element is an homage to film noir. But also, Chen says, “It’s a play about the fallibility of memory. And for me, when I think about my own shaky memories from childhood, they really do seem to play almost like little film clips. I think part of the magic of film on-stage is the fact that it can reformulate a space instantaneously, without a heavy set being lugged in and lugged out.
Commissioned by Lincoln Center, where it debuted in 2020, “The Headlands” was Chen’s first play to premiere in New York City, though a couple of others had been produced in the city before.
