About NIGHTHAWKS: The kinetic vitality of invention and imagination of a physical-theater based ensemble collides with Edward Hopper’s world of small-town Americana longing and solitude to create a landscape teaming with life, longing, and the American Dream. Nighthawks paints a picture both intimate and epic, as characters dare to reach beyond the confines of their every day. THE ENSEMBLE: Catherine Egan, Keyon Gaskin, Darren McCarthy, Ben Plont, Anne Sorce & Camille Cettina, assistant directed by Sascha Blocker and designed in collaboration with Jenny Ampersand (costumes) and Bill Tripp (set).

Caryl Churchill is generally regarded with something close to awe in the London theater world for her passion, curiosity, rigor, openness to collaboration and for being, as the critic Charles Spencer wrote in The Daily Telegraph, ''the least predictable of contemporary playwrights.'' Her elusiveness can be maddening for those trying to understand her plays, which are elliptical, provocative, shocking and increasingly pared-down; they seem to cry out for a cool authorial voice to help answer the questions they raise. But by the same token, it adds to her mystique and forces audiences, so often spoon-fed with official interpretations, to take some initiative.
