Rattlestick Playwrights Theater Artistic Director David Van Asselt and Managing Director Brian Long present the American premiere of Jon Fosse's A Summer Day, translated and directed by Sarah Cameron Sunde, which opened last night, October 25 at the Cherry Lane Theatre. Check out photo coverage from the opening night festivities below!

A visit to an old friend sparks the memory of a visit years earlier and the mysterious disappearance of a loved one. Set in two time periods in the same idyllic house, A Summer Day evokes the nostalgia of the end of an affair, capturing love both in the moment and as a distant memory. Acclaimed Norwegian writer Jon Fosse, widely considered to be one of the world's greatest living playwrights, receives an American premiere with this deep meditation on the nature of loss.
