Nightwatch – New Stages

Dec 1 - 19, 2021 in Goodman's Owen Theatre

1 hour and 35 minutes with no intermission

When 20-year-old Leo drops out of college and returns home to San Francisco’s Chinatown, he discovers a secret that’s been kept from him: his father passed away weeks ago. To try to cope, he delves into his family’s untold past in the Chinese Communist Cultural Revolution, redefining everyone and everything he thought was in his bloodline. Winner of the 2019 Relentless Award, Max Yu’s thrilling Nightwatch reckons with unknown history and generations of hidden family stories.

Nightwatch was originally developed as part of the Goodman’s Future Labs program—a series of workshops and presentations written and led by artists of color. Learn more at GoodmanTheatre.org/FutureLabs.
