All Through the Night

Drama / Characters: 5f / Simple Set Nominee! 2006 Joseph Jefferson nomination as Best New Chicago Play of the Year All Through the Night speaks directly with a warning for today. Set during and after the Third Reich, a stylistic, surrealistic play inspired by interviews with German Gentile women. The play sweeps from their teen years through adulthood during the Holocaust and beyond. The Nazi Regime impacts the women's lives as they struggle over work, religion, marriage and motherhood. Making overwhelmingly hard choices, they survive or succumb to Hitler's Reign and are changed forever. A sylistic, surrealistic play. Minimal set and minimal props. An unconventional timeframe that jumps a chronological order "Events...elevated to artistic dramatization. Most interesting is character transformations as the stories unfold." - Backstage "We may know history but this play is electrifying!" - Chicago Free Press
