“The Night Alive” is an intriguing play and risky enterprise. This is a remarkable production of it.

THE NIGHT
ALIVE, which is about the lives of a few lost souls, gets a strong staging. Unfortunately, the play is about people who
don’t engender a reason to be cared about.

"The Night Alive" is a very dark show by famed Irish playwright Conor McPherson about five characters who have few redeeming qualities. ... Director Leighann Delorenzo has undoubtedly directed her actors to create consistently awkward connections between their characters. But their dynamics are so tentative that the intermissionless play, which runs an hour and 50 minutes, drags during the first half hour.

While extremely well done, the show seems to falter
at the end. Many of the patrons leaving the theater seemed to have enjoyed the
complexity and especially the comedy of the play but were unanimously confused
concerning the ending as in “Who died?” Tommy? Aimee? Both? Part of the
challenge will be in figuring out this burning question.

Under the intelligent and specific direction of Leighann DeLorenzo, the immensely talented five-person cast does this material proud.
