Quotidian Theatre Co Presents Haunting Tale NIGHT SEASONS

Quotidian Theatre Company wraps up the 2017 season with the Washington, DC area premiere of Horton Foote's NIGHT SEASONS.

Academy Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning Horton Foote's play is framed by the occasion of Josie's 93rd birthday, on which the elderly woman, having outlived her husband and daughter, begins to realize that her longevity may be her punishment. This lyrical family drama is laced with snatches of old tunes and dark humor.

"I've wanted to bring this piece to DC for the longest time," says Quotidian's Artistic Director Jack Sbarbori. "Foote presents a distillation of his unique style in Night Seasons that fits in perfectly with the kinds of works we like to give our audiences."

Ben Brantley, writing the review for the original New York production called it "an examination of the quietly destructive effects of a life defined by bank balances." And, who better to bring that sensibility to DC audiences than Quotidian, of whom DC Theatre Scene said: "Quotidian... takes a back seat to no theater in Washington as an interpreter of Foote."

Directed by Jack Sbarbori. Jane Squier Bruns and Carolyn Kashner lead a cast comprising Quotidian favorites -- John Decker, David Dubov, and Laura Russell. The talented ensemble also includes Bill Brekke, Grant Cloyd, Elizabeth Darby, Debbie Minter Jackson, Jennifer Osborn, and Timothy Ziese.

NIGHT SEASONS opens July 14, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. at the Writer's Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and runs through August 13.
