This two-person drama concerns reunited criminals as they try to find a straight path in the world. After her release from prison, Lorraine heads straight to the only other person who she has felt close to in years: her former cellmate Marie. While locked up, the two shared everything, but on the outside, their friendship threatens to destroy their fragile freedom. Playwright Chloe Moss won the Susan Smith Blackburn Playwriting Prize in 2009 for This Wide Night. Seattle Public Theater's production is directed by Sheila Daniels and stars Emily Chisholm (The 13th of Paris, Tryst) and Christina Mastin as the ex-convicts. Learn More
