Visiting Mr. Green by Jeff Baron
is one of the most produced and beloved plays in the world in the past 30 years, reaching millions of theatre-goers on six continents. Updated for 2025. Read Jeff’s article about the update in American Theatre Magazine
“An elderly Manhattanite has retreated from life after his wife’s death, and he’s letting himself and his apartment go to ruin. Then chance brings a younger man – lonely too, but instinctively nurturing – into his life.
Visiting Mr. Green tells its story with such quiet conviction that theatregoers find tears trickling down their cheeks before they realize what’s hit them. It’s a beautiful exercise in learning to live with – and care for – one another.”

Since its year-long run in New York City starring Eli Wallach, there have been over 600 productions in 53 countries.
Visiting Mr. Green won the Kulturpreis Europa and numerous Best Play and Best Actor awards while enjoying multi-year runs in France, Argentina, Croatia, Austria, Brazil, Spain, The Czech Republic, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Germany, Kazakhstan, The Netherlands, Greece, Belgium, Israel, Ukraine, Italy and Romania.
“I remember rabidly applauding Visiting Mr. Green 15 years ago when I saw it for the first time. But after a pandemic that has broken us apart, the story vibrates louder than ever.”

“The three great roles for an actor are King Lear, Willy Loman and Mr. Green.”
OLIVIER AWARD WINNER WARREN MITCHELL
“It is doubtful you are likely to encounter a play more enjoyable, more honestly funny and in the end, more moving. There is not a false note to be detected anywhere. You will leave the theatre warmed, exhilarated and reassured.”
