Spreckels is thrilled to present Morning Sun, a gripping drama from Simon Stephens, the creative and insightful playwright who captivated audiences with The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Running March 14–30, 2025, Morning Sun, directed by Lauren Heney, features the inspired talents of Sandra Ish (What the Constitution Means to Me), Molly Noble (Enchanted April), and Taylor Diffenderfer (A Midsummer Night’s Dream). Morning Sun is a beautifully nuanced meditation on family, time, and the ways people strive to make sense of, and make peace with, their own histories.Set against the backdrop of New York City, the play follows Charley McBride (Sandra Ish), a woman whose experiences are shaped by both the city around her and her relationships with her mother, Claudette (Molly Noble), and daughter, Tessa (Taylor Diffenderfer). The story unfolds as an evolving dialogue among the three women, shifting and overlapping through memories that reveal moments of love, loss, and resilience.
As Charley navigates the complexities of single motherhood, evolving relationships, and her work as a receptionist at St. Vincent’s Hospital, each experience leaves an indelible mark on her sense of self. Her deep connection to New York is woven throughout the play, from the bohemian spirit of Greenwich Village in her youth to the profound impact of historical events like the AIDS crisis and 9/11.
Morning Sun takes an unconventional approach, forgoing traditional scenes in favor of a continuous, fluid conversation that moves between past and present. The three women narrate, reinterpret, and occasionally contradict one another as they weave together their shared history. The result is a compelling portrait of life’s fleeting moments, inviting audiences to reflect on their own lives and the choices that have shaped them.
Considerations: Morning Sun contains adult language and themes.
