A Song At Twilight

Pasadena Playhouse
39 S. El Molino Ave. Pasadena

In A Song at Twilight, celebrated author Hugo Latymer has reached the autumn of his days with everything a man could wish for: wealth, success, fantastic friends, and a life filled with laughter, luxury and travel. A profound fear of intimacy and public scandal, however, kept him from embracing the one true love in his life, and now he wonders if he would trade the success for a chance to do it all again.

Los Angeles Times - Recommended

"...This production of "A Song at Twilight" is a reminder that there's more to Coward than Champagne bubbles and intoxicating quips. What could very easily have turned into a vintage case study of a closeted homosexual writer becomes a probing exposé of the concealments and deceptions that keep our most intimate relationships - with ourselves as well as with others - hauntingly unresolved."

Broadway World - Recommended

"...Now in an outstanding production at the Pasadena Playhouse through April 13 directed by Coward director extraordinaire Art Manke, A Song at Twilight is dazzlingly intelligent and irresistibly thought-provoking with a superior quartet of actors."

"...Director Manke has seven Coward plays under his belt (including the Playhouse's Fallen Angels last season) and was dubbed "L.A.'s Coward specialist" by the Los Angeles Times. After sitting through this mess I think it would be wise to seek a second opinion."

"...This is a twilight song well worth a listen and a Noël Coward gem well worth a look-see."

Examiner - Recommended

"...At the helm Director Art Manke, who directed last year's critically-acclaimed production of "Fallen Angels" has achieved another triumph adding "Song" to his list of sublime Coward revivals. His masterful direction is evident throughout the play, but most especially in a heartrending moment near the end of Act II."

"...So what is it that succeeds in wrenching this creaky, corny spectacle into the 21st century? Certainly not the melodramatic act-ending cliffhanger announcement, whose effect if not topic-the threat to expose Hugo's homosexual past-would've been familiar to Henry Irving and Mrs. Fiske when they toured in Victoria's time. No, the immediacy the play achieves is a kind of alchemy, in which the characters' behavior and reactions are gradually revealed to possess a heartbeat everyone can recognize. The trappings may be Old World, but the detail work is here and now."

"...It may be the perfection that makes this production falter a little. Everything is so just so. Energy in the second act exceeded the first and that was a good thing. Over all, this is a Broadway play revived for a Broadway audience come to see the play and to be seen."

"...A Song at Twilight still resonates today, for as long as people deny their true nature, for them, the song remains the same."

Experience LA - Recommended

"...With its talented cast that deftly strikes a balance with humor and its subject matter, this production brings to life a story that should be seen and told often, one that is still relevant to the world today."
