Our 2009-2010 Season of New Plays will open at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater with the New York Premiere of ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT by Shirley Lauro. This play speaks directly with a warning for today. Inspired by interviews with German Gentile women, and set during and after the Third Reich, the play is both stylistic and surrealistic, sweeping through the women's teen years and young adulthood during the Holocaust and then beyond. The Nazi Regime impacts the women's lives as they struggle over education, work, religion, marriage and motherhood. Making overwhelmingly hard choices, they survive or succumb to Hitler's Reign and are changed forever.
