David Hurst takes a look at Describe the Night:
Pulitzer-nominee Rajiv Joseph's new play at The Atlantic, Describe the Night, is a sweeping, political potboiler spanning 90 years of history and intertwining the lives of seven characters over three time periods and locations. Combining history, myth and conspiracy in a time-traveling thriller, the characters include real historical figures as well as creations of Joseph's fertile imagination. Describe the Night is a "Russian fantasia" that aspires to the brilliance of Angels in America . . . and sometimes brushes up against it. . . . |
