PRODUCED for MERMAID PARADE by ZARRIN DARNELL-MARTIN JON MICHAELSON ASTRID VAN WIEREN

Chloe Moss's lovingly crafted, award winning 'women out of prison' drama. Set in the UK, it's a funny, poignant, fierce portrayal of two very different women trying to move forward despite their scarred, stigmatized lives.

“Powerful 90 minute two-hander magnetizes. First class performances and astute direction make This Wide Night a night to remember.” Jeniva Berger, scenechanges.ca

“There's lots to admire in director Jon Michaelson's production, which captures the script's humor as well as much of its tension." Jon Kaplan, NOW magazine

REMOUNTED AS A SITE-SPECIFIC PRODUCTION AT THE RED SANDCASTLE THEATRE, TORONTO

“Michaelson has directed the two actors with great sensitivity and insight.  A play like this about constantly, subtly shifting aspects of a relationship will only work with strong performances from both performers. And both Van Wieren and Burns are absolutely superb. Mermaid Parade's production proves that great theatre can happen anywhere.”

Christopher Hoile, Stage-door

“Both Van Wieren and Burns work beautifully together, creating that tenuous, careful, tentative world of these two fragile, damaged women. While Lorraine and Marie are hard-nosed British women, the story could be about anywhere. This Wide Night is a tough play, well done. Michaelson’s direction adds to that bleak, yet vivid world. For 90 minutes we are in that world too. “
