Heading into Night, making its highly anticipated West Coast debut at the Odyssey Theatre, is co-created by Beth F. Milles and Daniel Passer and stars the brilliantly talented Passer, a renowned Cirque du Soleil clown. Directed by award-winning adaptor/director Milles, this deeply moving yet unexpectedly humorous play delves into the intricacies of memory. Are we more than what we know, what we love, what we can hold onto in the swirling carousel of time passing? Are we ever more than what makes us laugh? Through Milles’ and Passer’s masterful work, the audience embarks on a surreal and poignant journey, finding hilarity, joy, and unexpected revelations in the ironies of fading memory. Passer’s whimsical and emotionally resonant portrayal breathes life into moments that challenge the mind while warming the heart, creating an unforgettable theater experience where humor transcends the challenges of forgetting.
