Mildred’s Umbrella Theater Company presents “Night of the Giant” a world premier by resident playwright, John Harvey. The play features an original score by local composer Elliot Cole.
Evening begins to fall. Lamps are lit, a child walks outside with a saw, and two sisters in a broken-down house make a ham sandwich for their father who sits on a couch--tied and bagged. A small band of musicians chained in the dining room play waltzes, while birds at the windows watch and judge. Questions are asked. Stories told. But as light bulbs begin to fail, who will survive the night?
