Mox Nox (or soon comes the Night)
This play was schedule to on tour with the Brown Box Theatre Project in 2020, which had commissioned the play, but along came COVID, and the tour was canceled and eventually Brown Box ceased operations.
But there is still a life for this play!
June 26-29, 2025. Moonbox Productions will produced a workshop production of the play as part of the 2025 Boston New Play Festival! Alexandra Smith will directed. (It was amazing.)
Here’s a summary of the play:
In a world of magical realism and rising water, two sisters are reunited at their family home. Mira, the caretaker sister, had to weather her mother’s death alone, and holds every childhood slight so close that she is literally burning from the inside, shedding ashes and embers, as her wife, Amanda, attempts to soothe her. Sister Deedee has returned to bring her fiancé, Pike, to higher ground, even as her memory is vanishing faster and faster. In a slowly drowning world, everyone is searching for higher ground. The sisters battle to the end, one unable to forget, the other unable to remember. A play of lyrical magic and visual surprise, with characters who desperately need love and dry land.
