"The scenes that make up Rajiv Joseph's ambitiously complex Describe the Night dance and skip through time." - Time Out
In 1920, the Russian writer Isaac Babel wanders the countryside with the Red Cavalry. In 1990, a mysterious KGB agent spies on a woman in Dresden and falls in love. In 2010, an aircraft carrying most of the Polish government crashes in the Russian city of Smolensk.
Set in Russia and Eastern Europe over the course of ninety years, Rajiv Joseph's thrilling and epic play weaves together the lives of seven men and women into an interconnected web of myth, desire, and conspiracy.
Winner of an Obie Award for Best New American Play in 2018, Describe the Night is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Lisa Spirling.
