SYNOPSIS
Night Sky explores what the noted author and physicist Steven Hawking has called the two remaining mysteries - the brain and the cosmos - as the play looks at what happens to a bright, articulate astronomer, her family and her career when she is struck by a car and loses her ability to speak conventionally, a condition known as 'aphasia.' As she is left to expresses herself in an alternately funny, poetic, confusing and profound hodge-podge of words, astronomer Anna, her daughter, fiance and colleagues face uncommon challenges of the mind and spirit as they discover new ways to communicate, and what it really means to listen.
