At two hours, it could stand some culling of the extraneous - there’s enough material for 90 minutes with no intermission - but that’s an easy fix. So cool to see the display of the incredible design work for Night Night, Roger. This play could almost be written as a children’s picture book: colorful illustrations with heartfelt stories about finding community and enjoying companionship. I would watch an entire play called Midnight Snack starring this deeply weird character.
A particular highlight is William Huffaker as Augustus Gustav, the game-show host who is half Willy Wonka, half old-timey mustachioed villain. Antoine Doyen Roger Narboni on the rue de Robert de Flers in Paris’ 15th arrondissement. Perfect for settling your little one into bed and ending with. Imagining The Future of the City At Night Roger Narboni uses his 30 years of experience to envision the city of tomorrow and its relationship to both light and darkness. There are some truly lovely moments (the ukulele serenade, in particular), and while the scenes are short, good rapport is built between characters and relationships are clear and complex. The animals are in the barn and it’s time to say a soft and cozy, 'Night, night.' Say goodnight to the horse, the dog, and all their farm friends, as you turn the shaped pages and watch as the animals go to sleep, one by one. The scenes themselves illustrate a sense of childlike wonder that combines innocence, curiosity, and excitement for life. Concepts waver between grounded and fantastic: from a childhood crush to a roller-skating grandma evading her overprotective family from walking the dog to an insane game show with a nightmarish ringleader as a host from the petty annoyances of being a landlord to imaginary creatures that perform rhyming rituals and watch over sleeping children. Their conversation establishes the audience in a very fluid state on the spectrum of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness. 'We all sleep very well at night' - Roger Federer on Novak Djokovic & Rafael Nadal breaking his records. Pre-teen next-door neighbors Robin and Freddy can’t sleep and have a midnight chat through a tin can on a string. The author, fourth-year UCSB student Roni Ragone, has written what they call a “collage” play, a very apt description: The segments bleed into each other with recalled conversations, crossover characters, and overlapping thematic elements, all against a whimsical, dreamlike representation of the world at midnight.
