People behind the production
Hold On To Me Darling is a dynamic performer project rooted in the storytelling world of playwright Kenneth Lonergan. Centered on the fictional country music icon Strings McCrane and his crisis following his mother’s death, the work blends intimate drama with the emotional pull of classic country storytelling. The revival staged in 2024 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York City brought renewed attention to this character-driven narrative, combining strong performances with a textured score that resonates with fans of contemporary theatre and country-inflected storytelling.
