A Night

Recommended by

  • Arianna Rose: A Night

    So sweet, so honest, so real. Playwright Cassidy Byron writes with great authenticity about what happens in college dorm rooms, the switches and reverses, the starts and stops, the hesitations and beginnings. I loved spending time with these four study buddies. Jonathan and Roger are people I'd love to hang out with. Read it and produce it!

    Great timing - we get into the story at the perfect point and leave at the perfect point. It’s tense. It’s awkward. It’s engaging. Dialogue is pitch perfect. A story that’s heartfelt, touching, and real.

    Short, sweet, and funny. A first kiss seeped in embarrassment soon turns into something more wholesome. Touching, sweet, and the kind of queer experience we all dreamed of as a young adult.
