It’s 1881 and Motke, the ne’er-do-well alcoholic Jewish homosexual novelist who can’t quite finish his novel, returns to his parents’ shtetl on the eve of a Passover seder unlike any other. For on this very night, right in the middle of the fekakte seder, there’s a murder! WHY THIS NIGHT is your typical queer Jewish shtetl mad-cap murder mystery, that scratches at the gray area between this world and the world to come.
Why This Night was a project in Mercury I & II (June 2020/November 2020)
