Night Over Erzinga
Tells the moving story of how a man can lose everything but his heart, and how a grandmother can reach through time, reclaim a story, and bring her children “home.” Spanning two continents and three generations, from the Armenia of 1913, to 1930’s Massachusetts, to 1960’s New York, the play uses memory and dreamscapes as it reunites ghosts with the living, all yearning to find a way to make peace with their past.
