The Night Animals

Recommended by

  • Jessica Golden: The Night Animals

    The Night Animals is equal parts heartwarming and heartwrenching. An intimate portrait of a family confronting years of lies and distrust, told with humor and insight. A laughter-through-tears kind of play with characters you'll think about long after curtain.
