What will save you when you lose everything you thought you had?
Marisa is spiralling fast: she’s furious and humiliated after being dumped for a younger actress. Now she’s having panic attacks and contemplating drinking herself to a dramatic end. When the doctor, Victor, arrives, he pulls Marisa up from the depths of despair, with a calming nature and good humour. Despite him being in his own complicated relationship, Marisa soon becomes convinced the kind doctor will be her saviour in more ways than one.
One Whole Night is a portrait of a woman who is both flamboyant and vulnerable, narcissistic yet insecure, who will leap blindly at happiness or be sucked into a whirlpool of misery. Ana-Maria Bamberger’s play takes unexpected twists and turns, going seemingly from a story of lost love regained to something quite different.
Produced by Over Here Theatre Company and Magus Theatre Productions, One Whole Night features Tracey Ann Wood as ‘Marisa’ and Charlie Buckland as ‘Victor’ under the direction of Lydia Parker.
