Night Watch

by Lucille Fletcher

directed by Georgette Verdin

October 5 – November 12

What’s more nightmarish: not being able to trust those around you… or not being able to trust yourself? Moonlit streets, a restless mind and a large window have become Elaine’s nightly routine in her luxurious city townhouse. But insomnia is the least of her worries when a dead body appears in the window of an abandoned, squalid unit across the street. To make matters worse, the body disappears before her husband, best friend or maid have a chance to witness the atrocity. This suspenseful revival is filled to the brim with tricks and twists, leaving audiences on a psychological rollercoaster until the very. last. second.

Reviews

  • "If you’re a fan of 'Only Murders in the Building,' the comedy-mystery series on Hulu, you’ll likely enjoy Lucille Fletcher’s “Night Watch…'"

    Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

  • "The production team includes an expansive scenic design by Mara Ishihara Zinky. The set fills the Raven stage and is peppered with little artsy details and furnishings that read as an expensive townhouse."

    Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review

  • "Verdin doesn’t miss any opportunity to amp up the mystery... This unpredictable, well-acted thriller is a great choice for the Halloween season. Even if you can’t guess whodunnit—I sure didn’t—you’re bound to have a good time."

    Karen Topham, Chicago On Stage

  • "…Peck delivers a compelling performance as a woman on the edge…"

    Kerry Reid, Chicago Reader

  • "There are also enough plot twists strewn throughout to keep the audience engaged. So much so, in fact, that at intermission several people hazarded guesses as to what was really going on. These guesses were all wrong. "

    Noel Schecter, New City Stage
