ANY NIGHT
Any Night (full length play)
by Daniel Arnold & Medina Hahn
A troubled young dancer moves into a new basement
suite and finds herself drawn into romance with the
charming young man living above her—until she
starts suffering strange behaviour in her sleep.
A romantic mystery about privacy, trust, and the power
of the subconscious. A personal exploration of a
universal theme: the thin line between trust and fear.
