NIGHT SKY- Publication
|
|
Samuel French, Inc. announces
the revised version of Night Sky
An extraordinary drama fresh from its recent Off-Broadway
production,
here's what the critics have to say about Night Sky...
|
|
 "Susan
Yankowitz's Night Sky is a rare thing: a play with
a mind. It is also about the mind as universe, where language
is internal astronomy. It shows us that more than hearts can
be broken. ...The subject is astronomy. The subject is language.
The subject is courage - and how all these fit together in
a subtly patterned script of a life suddenly eclipsed by disaster.
Don't miss this one." - Toby Zinman, Variety
|
|
 "The
enthralling Night Sky ... may be the accomplished Susan
Yankowitz's best play yet. Her first-hand knowledge of aphasia
and exemplary research into astronomy are breathtaking as
she embraces an insight of Stephen Hawking's that the two
abiding unsolved mysteries are the brain and the cosmos. ...(A)
poetic and dramatic, serious and humorous, wise and profoundly
moving play." - John Simon, Bloomberg News
"...A haunting, fascinating
play, ...a must-see for the adventurous theater buff. The
final word is like a signal - an unanswerable query released
into the heavens." - Dan Hulbert, Atlanta Journal/Constitution
 "Watching
this American playwright weave a web which ultimately binds
man and the cosmos is a breathtaking experience. The depth
of Yankowitz' research enables her to spin wonderful metaphors,
creating a masterpiece which entertainingly enlightens audiences.
To sum it all up, Night Sky is a simply celestial theatre
experience." - Pretoria News
"A sprawling, intensely
interesting play with emotional urgency... an exploration
of the whole nature of language, thinking, communication and
the universe." - Aileen Jacobsen, New York Newsday

 ABOUT
THE PLAY
Night Sky
Susan Yankowitz
3m, 3f
This extraordinary drama premiered to acclaim in a New York
production directed by Joseph Chaikin and starring Joan MacIntosh.
It was subsequently produced Off-Broadway in a revised version
directed by Daniella Topol and featuring Jordan Baker in the
central role.
Night Sky theatrically
explores what Steven Hawking has called the two mysteries
remaining to us: the brain and the cosmos. When she is hit
by a car, the brilliant and articulate astronomer Anna loses
her ability to speak, a condition known as aphasia. What emerges
from her mouth is a hodge-podge of unconnected words alternately
confusing, funny, original and wise -- and sometimes all four.
In a series of brief, often comic episodes, the play follows
Anna through her illness and ultimate acceptance of herself
- a personal triumph, despite a continuing infirmity - and
dramatizes the impact of her changed circumstances on her
lover, her teen-aged daughter, and her professional life.
