by Tom Stoppard directed by Jiri Zizka
September 22 – October 31, 2004

Set on a British estate in a fictitious African country, Night and Day uses brilliant humor to question the contradictions of capitalism, colonialism, and freedom of the press. As a small African dictatorship is about to explode into civil war, reporters vie for the story while the mistress of the house struggles with fidelity
