SO LATE INTO THE NIGHT

October 4 - November 2, 2025

By Shawn Northrip
Directed by Jenny McConnell Frederick

Take a seat at the table as Mary Shelley gathers her friends and lovers to look into the afterlife. On the precipice of writing her masterpiece Frankenstein, Mary discovers someone from the future is looking back. SO LATE INTO THE NIGHT is an unforgettable rock séance in DC’s iconic Buzzard Point neighborhood.

“So Late Into the Night Catches us by the throat and leads us briskly into a confrontation with fate.”

“Rorschach can be counted on for complex, often dark, productions marked by vivid, imaginative visuals. And this work, directed by Jenny McConnell Frederick, is no exception”

When has Rorschach been known for following the rules? These dark fantasists that lurk around the District thrive on the oddities of their work. It’s why they’re who they are, and it’s why So Late Into the Night is often quite good. It’s an experience, a removal from reality that keeps you away from the norms of the grind by whirling a hodgepodge of ideas around you in a twister of Halloween brood, for better or worse. And then it says: ‘Let’s rock.'”

This project was produced with support from The Cafritz Foundation, The Share Fund, the DC Commission for the Arts and Humanities, and 121 backers to our Kickstarter.
