Nightsongs

A play by the poet and playwright Jon Fosse. This version is translated for the stage by playwright Gregory Motton. Two lovers have conflicting interests when they have a child together.

They have a child and life changes. He can't go out and she can't stay in. He writes words that no one will publish and she takes a lover. "I don't know what it is/ that always make something happen/ But it must be something/ because something always happens/ I don't want anything to happen/ and then something/ happens all the same."
