PREVIEWS BEGIN MAY 8 | OPENING NIGHT MAY 16

A prison sentence isn’t over once you leave jail.

Having just begun to rebuild a life on the outside, Marie (Pill) is confronted with her past when former cellmate Lorraine (Falco) shows up unannounced on her doorstep. The two outcasts, once so close on the inside, struggle to navigate a friendship beyond the prison walls – which may threaten their prospects to start over.
This Wide Night is a heartfelt and witty portrait of two lost souls trying to find their way in an unforgiving world.

Artistic Director Geoffrey Nauffts says, “We are thrilled to be bringing two actresses of such immense talent to Naked Angels for the American premiere of this provocative work by one of Britain’s most exciting voices. Edie Falco is a long-time friend of the company, and in addition to being the perfect person to play this courageous and heartbreaking character, she is extremely passionate about this project and its message of the complexity of friendship and starting over. The raw energy and nerve that Alison Pill brings to her acting makes her the ideal complement to Edie, and we can’t wait to see the sparks fly between them onstage in this powerful award-winning new drama.”

This Wide Night will be the first play in a full season of compelling new works in celebration of Naked Angels’ 25^th Anniversary as one of the most innovative theatre companies in New York.
