Motivational Theatre, Peake Players, & the Dignity Players of Annapolis present “Night Sky” Friday, September 30, Saturday, October 1, and Sunday October 2 at Cadby Studio Theatre, Chesapeake College in Wye Mills.
“Night Sky” written by Susan Yankowitz, explores what Steven Hawking has called the two mysteries remaining to us: the brain and the cosmos. When the brilliant and articulate astronomer Anna is hit by a car, she loses the ability to speak, a condition known as aphasia.
What emerges from her mouth is a hodge-podge of unconnected words, alternately confusing, funny, original, and wise, and sometimes a little bit of all of the above. In a series of brief, comic episodes, the play follows Anna through her illness and ultimate acceptance of herself––a personal triumph, despite a continuing infirmity––and dramatizes the impact of her changed circumstances on her lover, her teen-aged daughter, and her professional life.
