Police Chief Inspector Sir Devlin Shaw is having a terrible week.

For months his task force has sought the scheming blackmailer known
only as THE NIGHT, but their quarry has eluded them. Worse still,
one of Sir Devlin's most valued detectives and closest friends has
been murdered by The Night.

Sir Devlin has retired for the weekend to his palatial country
estate, to mourn and regroup, and to enjoy some prime decadence with
family and friends.

THE NIGHT has followed Sir Devlin home.

The stage is set for a thrilling story in which no one is quite what
they seem. The lines between lawman and criminal, between kinky
fantasy and gritty reality will blur, distort, and shatter. Heroes
will emerge. Grudges will be settled. Some will live. Some will
die. But no one will ever forget their encounter withhellip THE Night.

Like an Agatha Christie play on Quaaludes, THE NIGHT cheerfully lays
waste to the conventions of the whodunit genre, turning a mystery
play into something very, very different. Hard-hitting police drama
gives way to family comedy, erotic fantasy leads to spiritual quest.
The production draws from a vast array of influences, and a diverse
cast of performers - veterans of mainstream theatre, performance art,
and everything in between - brings THE NIGHT to life.

THE NIGHT will be performed on April 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, and
29, 2006; shows are Friday and Saturday @ 8pm. The Dark Room is at
