Lunar Eclipse is essentially a 90-minute one act play in which two actors bring out the lawn chairs and spend the night watching a lunar eclipse and reflecting on their long-married relationship.  As the moon goes through its various stages the characters go through their hopes losses and lives together.  This is a world premiere of Donald Margulies’ most recent play and captures themes of both optimism and despair.
