The Night Alive

Round House Theatre
4545 East-West Highway Bethesda

Tommy is a down-and-out bloke on the outskirts of Dublin. Between dodging his estranged wife and planning his next get-rich-quick scheme, there’s not much to look forward to. But after he saves a woman from a violent attack, they’re both forced to sift through their messy pasts in search of a glimmer of hope. From the author of The Weir and The Seafarer comes the stunning Irish drama the Chicago Tribune calls “raw and beautiful.”

"...You wouldn't mistake "The Night Alive" for the work of any other writer. The 2013 drama, now at Bethesda's Round House Theatre in an appropriately ginger production, zooms in on the grubby Dublin flat of a middle-aged man named Tommy (Edward Gero, recently seen prowling the boards as Antonin Scalia in Arena Stage's "The Originalist"). Tommy stumbles in with a bloodied young woman he just found on the street. Now what?"

"...The title The Night Alive is more than pathetic fallacy, it alludes to two distinct images that haunt a play in which we seem to be perpetually waking, and perpetually dying, but slightly uncertain about both. That said, if you are in search of a lively night of theatre, The Night Alive at the Round House will not disappoint."
