The writers/performers of the international hit Tuesdays & Sundays are back with a gothic and contemporary romantic mystery.

When Anna, a troubled modern dancer struggling with the death of her mother, moves into a new basement suite for solace and solitude, she finds herself drawn into a tender relationship with Patrick, the helpful young man living above her. But why is she suffering violent behavior in her sleep?

As her night terrors and sleepwalking intensify, both she and Patrick are sent down a spiral of fear and are soon caught in fracturing timelines -- from a night spent observed in a sleep clinic to a violent dream-like accident. Anna must sort reality from dream and past from present and future, or she may never wake up. 

Part romance, part thriller, Any Night is a mind-bending puzzle exploring the thin line between trust and fear and the immeasurable power of the subconscious.
REVIEWS:

"This well-constructed two-person thriller translates the conventions of a variety of stalker and obsession movies to small-scale downtown theatre."

The New York Times

"A play that zips by, maintaining suspense by keeping the audience slightly off balance. You know something weird is going on, but you are not entirely sure what."

The New York Times

"A highly entertaining evening of fleet-footed psychological shadow-play."

Vulture.com

"[A] spiffy, spooky, shoestring genre thriller."

Vulture.com

"It packs enough shocks and surprises into its 80 gripping minutes to keep us sitting nervously on the edge of our seats like wide-eyed children wondering what's what until the final fadeout."

Backstage.com

"The theatrical thriller proves to be alive and well in the form of Any Night."

Backstage.com

"A wild, spooky ride... it thoroughly, intelligently, and refreshingly delivers."

Backstage.com

"A phantasmagoric thriller... deeply concerned with human connectedness. Hitchcock for the 21st century."

theasy.com

"Any Night shows us that our real fears do not revolve around gadgets but rather... universal abstractions that have concerned man since the dawn of civilization but whose definitions modern life has made less firm."
