Description: ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT speaks directly with a warning for today. Set during and after the Third Reich, this work is a stylist, surrealistic play inspired by interviews with German gentile women. With a minimal set, minimal props, and an unconventional time frame that jumps chronological order, the play sweeps from the women's teen years through adulthood during WWII and beyond. The Nazi Regime impacts the women's lives as they struggle over work, religion, marriage, and motherhood. Making overwhelmingly hard choices, they survive or succumb to Hitler's reign and are ultimately changed forever.
