Summary
“The night” that this play is about is a night in Portuguese history: the night before 25 April, 1974. Based on Saramago’s work, “the action takes place in a newspaper writing room in Lisbon and the author adds: any resemblance to real characters, their sayings and deeds is pure coincidence. Evidently. Nothing else would be expected”, reads the book’s synopsis.
With the usual sarcastic tone of Saramago’s writing, the narrative addresses the moments when “administrators and editors come into conflict. Some are shouting that the machine will stop and others are saying that it will continue”.
Accessible session with live audio description and stage visit before the show.
