  What of the Night?
Fornes's gripping drama was presented as part of Halcyon Theatre's Alcyone Festival, an annual undertaking aimed at combating the under-representation of female playwrights on American stages.
 

 

   

   

   

   

   

   


"The festival's highlight is What of the Night? (1989), a collection of four masterful one-acts that chart the coarsening effect of greed and dog-eat-dogism on an American family over several decades... Margo Gray's grimy, savagely acted production is pitch-perfect and harrowing." -- Chicago Reader >>

Fornes's epic cycle of one-acts spans 70 years of the experience of one American family chasing the promise of prosperity and happiness. I coordinated four casts into an integrated whole to highlight resonances in each of the component plays.
