| Synopsis: | Night Sky explores what the noted author and physicist Steven Hawking has called the two remaining mysteries-the brain and the cosmos-as the play looks at what happens to a bright, articulate astronomer, her family and her career when she is struck by a car and loses her ability to speak conventionally, a condition known as aphasia. As she is left to express herself in an alternately funny, poetic, confusing and profound hodgepodge of words, astronomer Anna, her daughter, fianc�, and colleagues face uncommon challenges of the mind and spirit as they discover new ways to communicate, and what it really means to listen. Night Sky is inspired by and dedicated to the memory of the late actor, director, playwright and founder of the Open Theatre, Joseph Chaikin, himself affected with aphasia following a stroke in 1984. Having recovered sufficiently to continue writing, directing and performing until his death in 2003, Mr. Chaikin commissioned Ms. Yankowitz to write a play that dealt with aphasia. Night Sky is that play | |||||
