An Evening with Don Nigro

Devlin Productions are proud to present An Evening with Don Nigro, two one-act plays by American playwright Don Nigro, at the Blood Moon Theatre from June 21st to July 8th.

In Nigro"s Something in the Basement we meet Mary and Philip, a childless couple who have just moved into an old house where bizarre noises emerge from the basement. As the the mystery of the basement turns into an obsession, their relationship takes a dark and strangely erotic turn. Both terrifying and funny, this is an unusual play about men, women, and things that go bump in the night.

We"ll be transported from the basement to the cornfields with Scarecrow. On the cusp of womanhood, Cally lives a lonely and claustrophobic life with her mother, an eccentric shut-in, in an isolated farmhouse on the edge of a cornfield. Cally is both spooked and spellbound by the scarecrow that keeps watch. When she meets a strange man who beckons her into the cornfields, she is led into a web of lust and betrayal.

Regarded as one of America"s great dramatists, Don Nigro and has written over 400 plays and despite this, he remains relatively unknown to the general public. In An Evening with Don Nigro, audiences both familiar and unfamiliar with his work are invited to explore some of his darkest and most obscure plays.
