M E R M A I D P A R A D E presents the CANADIAN PREMIERE of THIS WIDE NIGHT
Award winning UK play premieres JULY 22 at Theatre Passe Muraille
On her release from prison, Lorraine heads straight to Marie’s. On the inside they used to share everything, but the friendship that once protected them now threatens to smother their new fragile freedom. “This Wide Night” is a tender and fierce portrayal of two women trying to start again.
Over the rocky course of a week we see the bonds of their friendship tested, teased and provoked as they try to reconnect and rekindle their relationship. We learn about the issues they have had with family, friends, lovers, and in Lorraine’s case, about the son she lost over twenty years ago, with whom she is desperate to make contact.
