“Taking its title from William Carlos Williams’s poem ‘Complaint,’ Night Is a Room is one of the more audacious jaw-droppers in recent memory. Strange, surprising, often funny... Carnality is at its core.” —New York Times
Lauded for her topical, searing explorations of the pressing issues that affect humanity, Naomi Wallace’s new play Night Is a Room tackles the timeless subject of love and relationships. This story of a seemingly ideal married couple is torn apart when the husband’s previously unknown birth mother makes a surprise visit for his fortieth birthday. Night Is a Room examines the intimate challenges love can create, romantic or otherwise.

“Written with a kind of ecstatic lyricism, Night Is a Room also demolishes a sexual taboo.” —Variety
