A darkly comedic look at what it means to be cast adrift at any age, That Good Night explores the complex family dynamic of the O'Dwyer children, who have all reconvened to say goodbye to their dying father. Among them is their 37-year-old brother, who still lives at home and works as a part-time clown while dabbling in magic, film and heroin. As the children struggle with their own identities, marriages and fatherhood, their sister reveals she has written a story that threatens to expose family secrets thought long forgotten. That Good Night explores the means we have of holding on to each other and to those lost souls who appear in the night, using black humor to create an engrossing, enlightening production. Learn More

This was an excellent production. Great set, talented cast (especially the actor that played "Nate".). More intense than expected. A truly thought-provoking play.Written on Apr 16 2012
