A SUMMER DAY

by Jon Fosse, translated/directed by Sarah Cameron Sunde

A man goes out on the water every day
He’ll be back soon
But I feel so anxious
It’s probably nothing

Set in an idyllic, but isolated old house overlooking the water, and in two different times, A Summer Day captures the dilemma of love in the present moment, as well as a distant memory. Fosse’s poetic, haunting, everyday language reminds us of potential in every second and the suspense of being alive.

“quietly brutal…a strong but stealthy undertow, a distinctive dramatic momentum unlike any other in New York theater these days”
