Patio Playhouse Community Theater presents Animales Nocturnos by Juan Mayorga, with an English translation, Nocturnal, by David Johnston. Written in 2003, this tautly written and suspenseful play is set in motion by a secret: Short Man knows that Tall Man is an undocumented immigrant. He offers to keep this secret in exchange for Tall Man's friendship. The plot thickens as their respective wives become involved, and the price for silence begins to rise. Patio Playhouse's production of Animales Nocturnos and Nocturnal will be a West Coast premiere, performed in both English and Spanish by the same cast of Latinx actors. The cast includes Sam Kohler (Bajo/Short Man), Lettie DeAnda(Baja/Short Woman), Victor Reveles (Alto/Tall Man) and Melba Novoa (Alta/Tall Woman.)
