Synopsis

On a snowy January night, Morkan invites her friends and family to her home in upstate New York to celebrate a forgotten tradition: Epiphany.

Except the guest of honor is late, and no one can quite remember what the holiday is meant to signify – Is it religious?

Secular?

Should there be dancing?

As the evening wears on, the group becomes uneasy, wanting answers to questions both big and small: What is the best way to spend one’s time on this earth?

And why is this night so important to the hostess?

Press Reviews

"Puckish, thoughtful…[Epiphany] will engage and move you…"
— New York Sun

"Critic’s Pick! “Epiphany astutely captures a wide swath of ideas without losing its grasp on the hilarious and heartbreaking experience of being a person in the world… a love letter to the indefinable and unnameable."
— The New York Times

"A philosophical obstacle course, a poetic zone where language, gesture and intellect power the drama."
— New York Observer
