THIS WIDE NIGHT

By Chloe Moss

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays @7:30 PM, Sunday matinee @2:00 PM. This play contains adult language. Running Time: Approximately 90 minutes with intermission.


SPT closes the season with Chloe Moss’ This Wide Night, a gentle portrayal of two misfits trying to find their way in the world. On her release from prison, Lorraine heads straight to crash with her former cellmate Marie. On the inside they shared everything, but the friendship that once protected them now threatens to smother their new-found fragile freedom.  Moss's award-winning play is comic, colorful and full of pain, tenderness and truth. 

Directed by Sheila Daniels, featuring Emily Chisholm (The 13th of Paris, Tryst ) and Christina Mastin.

Special Post-Play discussions on Saturday, May 19th, Saturday May 26th, Sunday May 27th, Thursday May 31st, and Sunday June 3rd.

SPT & the IF Project's Prison Visit:

' The play foregrounds many of the larger issues addressed by a unique local nonprofit that co-sponsored a preview performance of the play at the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) in Gig Harbor last week... A discussion with the actors after the performance at the prison drew the WCCW audience into the collaboration.... The ripples will keep widening. Inmates returned to their cells that night to start writing about the play and their lives. Then the summing-up: “You made our life real.” “You were telling my story.” “Can our families and friends go see this play?” “These are our real struggles.” '

"The play is shaped with compassion, but there is never even an echo of special pleading. Ms. Moss’s goal is to convey, in visceral terms, the disorientation of lives resumed after rending, warping interruptions. And you don’t have to have done time to identify with Lorraine and Marie’s addled, anguished sense of time." - NY Times
