This Wide Night is produced by NAKED ANGELS in association with Richie Jackson and H!GHBROW.
A prison sentence isn't over once you leave jail.
Having just begun to rebuild a life on the outside, Marie (Alison Pill) is confronted with her past when former cellmate Lorraine (Edie 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.
This Wide Night was commissioned and first produced by Clean Break – a London-based theatre company that works with women affected by the criminal justice system - and premiered to critical acclaim in July 2008 at The Soho Theatre in London. The Times in London called the play “comic, colorful, full of pain and tenderness and truth. Raw and riveting.”In 2009 the play was awarded the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize honoring women playwrights in the English-speaking theatre.
