A gripping historical thriller tracing the blurred line between truth and fiction. Beginning in Poland, 1920, a war correspondent befriends an officer of the Russian Red Cavalry. In 1989, a Stasi agent spies on a woman in Dresden and falls in love. In 2010, an aircraft carrying Polish government officials crashes in Smolensk. Connecting seven lives over 90 years, this Obie Award-winner is a powerful and timely look at memory, misinformation, and how lies have the power to shape history in an increasingly unstable world.
Age Recommendation: Describe the Night contains adult language and frank discussions of totalitarianism, paranoia, and violence in Soviet/Post-Soviet Russia. It is recommended for adults. Children aged 13 and above are permitted, but parental discretion is advised.
