ABOUT THE SHOW

BRENDAN HAS A STORY, ONE THAT HURTS TO TELL.

He’s lost his job, his marriage has ended and he’s headed back home to settle his late mother’s affairs. It’s there that he finds the need to talk, as an unthinkable secret from his childhood demands attention. A provocative confession with haunting implications about memory and revenge, Adam Rapp’s The Night Fawn offers a sunset to our season—but real monsters don’t wait to come out after dark.
