All Through the Night
By SHIRLEY LAURO
Directed by Melanie Moyer Williams
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT speaks directly with a warning for today. Inspired by interviews with German Gentile women, and set during and after the Third Reich, the play is both stylistic and surrealistic, sweeping through the women's teen years and young adulthood during the Holocaust and then beyond. The Nazi Regime impacts the women's lives as they struggle over education, work, religion, marriage and motherhood. Making overwhelmingly hard choices, they survive or succumb to Hitler's Reign and are changed forever.
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT will receive its New York Premiere October 1-25, 2009 at The Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater ( 5 West 64th Street @ Central Park West)
The Actors Studio
432 W 44 St., New York City

"A Jeff Recommended Play"
"...inspired by true coming-of-age stories of four young German, Christian women who survive or succumb to an ever more powerful Nazi Government that comes to control their very existence..."
"A SIGNIFICANT SERIOUS AND INTENSELY MOVING NEW WORK BY A PROVEN BROADWAY PLAYWRIGHT...A SHOW THAT'S BOTH RUMINATIVE AND REVELATORY, SMART AND EMOTIVE, IMMERSIVE AND DISTANCING. AND MOST IMPRESIVE OF ALL, THIS IS A PLAY WITH ENOUGH DARING TO LOOK AT THE POLARITIES OF WAR WITH A STRONG SENSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF HUMAN LIMITATIONS...A COMPELLING NEW PLAY."
Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
"...CONTAINS A POWERFUL LESSON FOR TODAY."
