Fri 1/20-Sun 2/12
Conor McPherson’s 2013 play The Night Alive won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play of 2013-2014. Its themes look back to the British “kitchen sink” plays of the 1950s, dealing with the squalid lives of people on a fast track to nowhere. Set in Dublin, it deals with a group of men at loose ends, jobless and loveless, with the action set in motion by a prostitute one of the men rescues from the street.
Dobama Theatre brings the play to Cleveland for its regional premier. It runs Thursday-Sunday, through Sun 2/12. Tickets are $10-$32.
