The Glas Nocturne

Is it ever justifiable to take the life of another human being?

APL Co-Artistic Director Joseph Lavy has adapted Hjalmar Söderberg’s scandalous 1905  fin-de-siecle novel, Doktor Glas (1905), into a noir monodrama of psycho-sexual fixation, moral questioning, and murder that pushes APL in new directions.

A chamber drama performed for audiences of no more than 10 at a sitting, this is our most intimate offering to date. Features solo piano nocturnes and evocative Swedish choral settings.

We have crafted this short, night piece to provide an exquisite audience experience with uncommon access to the action and actors* — and audience size is limited to 10 per show. Prepare for a speakeasy-styled adventure: a clandestine affair, held in a publicly undisclosed location revealed only to invitees, run for an as-yet undetermined number of showings, with start times ranging from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm.
