The Night Season
by Rebecca Lenkiewicz
directed by George Ritchie
Monday 23 April - Saturday 5 May
Wharfeside Theatre
Please note: there is no performance on Saturday 28 April
The Night Season is charming, blithe and funny, dealing with three sisters living in rural Sligo with their drunken father and scattily eccentric gran.
One sister, Judith, is a librarian; the second, Rose, is having an abortive fling with a visiting actor; and the third, Maud, is a student whose boyfriend yearns for Moscow. The sexual tensions between the sisters is high, and is exacerbated by grandma Lily, whose head is filled with Biblical tags and old tunes, who thinks married men smell of rubber, and who wards off death through assignations with Rose's lover in an Indian restaurant.
“What Lenkiewicz brings to the party is an eye for the ramshackle oddity of family life” - Michael Billington.
