Nightlight
by Kenneth Brown
Highlights
Synopsis
An old Italian lady, whose husband deserted her 15 years ago, dwells in her shabby apartment holding court for those who come through her unlocked door.
Then one day, a purposeless, not very bright and violence-prone young man appears, bringing a brutal end to it all.
Press Reviews
"Dramatic... the play is deliberately underwritten... an aged couple unable to communicate verbally; a middle‐aged couple unable to communicate physically, and a sad, guarded young man, who enters their lives emotionally yet leaves them unchanged."
— Mel Gussow, The New York Times
