Introducing
Rogue After Curfew
a late night show in association with The Now Theatre
Directed by Matthew Bowdren
September 18–October
4, 2008
Before he was an Academy Award winning writer, the
London Theatre Critics named Anthony Minghella (The English Patient,
The Talented Mr. Ripley) Most Promising Playwright of the
Year. Never has that label proven more true than in his unassuming
1980s masterpiece, Cigarettes and Chocolate.
The play centers around a woman named Gemma who one
day, suddenly and without explanation, gives up speaking. One by one
her stunned and confused friends find themselves ripped from their
everyday routine of espresso-drinking and navel-gazing to confront
their own culpability—real or imagined—and in doing so,
truly seeing each other and themselves, for the first time.
