Anna Bennett is this close to losing it. She’s not sleeping. She’s not writing. She’s barely mothering. And then she and her son find something in the garden-something small, something wrapped in secrets, something that makes the past feel very present.

A darkly funny and unsettling one-woman play, Night Waking explores history, motherhood, and the ghosts we carry. Adapted by Shireen Mula from Sarah Moss’s novel, it’s a gripping, sharp-witted, and quietly devastating look at the stories we inherit-and the ones we’d rather not uncover.
