Home. Alone. Silent.

At the end of a typical work day, a woman returns to her apartment and closes the door. She changes her clothes, prepares a simple meal, listens to the radio and prepares for bed. Will tonight end like every other night?

The entire performance is conducted in real time over 70 minutes without a single word uttered.

This silent monologue is a portrait of loneliness, arguably more relevant and devastating today than fifty years ago when the play was written. Through its meticulous observation of the mundane, the central character, though mute, speaks for all the voiceless and socially isolated individuals in our community.
