Naked Angels' This Wide Night Extends Run Through June 27

Naked Angels’ critically acclaimed new play This Wide Night has extended its limited engagement by one week. The new drama, written by Chloe Moss and starring Emmy Award winner Edie Falco and Tony Award nominee Alison Pill opened on May 16 at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre with a closing date set for June 20. Directed by Anne Kauffman, the production will now play through June 27.

Winner of the 2009 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for female playwrights, This Wide Night centers on a female ex-con (Pill) who is unexpectedly visited by her former cellmate (Falco). The two outcasts, once so close on the inside, struggle to navigate a friendship beyond the prison walls, which may threaten their prospects to start over. The play was first produced in 2008 by Clean Break, a London organization that works with women affected by the criminal justice system.

The production features scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Emily Rebholtz, lighting design by Matt Frey and sound design by Robert Kaplowitz.
