This absorbing and poignant play gives today’s teens a glimpse of their counterparts back in World War II, while it evokes memories for older audience members. The setting is 1944, and the Battle of the Bulge rages near the French border. Alone on Christmas Eve, 18 year old Jacqueline is startled by the sudden appearance of two lost soldiers, one German and the other American, who confront each other in her farmhouse kitchen. Violence is averted by the plucky teenager’s determination and goodwill (’War is the enemy, not people!’), and the humanity of the desperate young soldiers emerges in a lively and nostalgic celebration scene. Not on This Night is a play for all seasons and a strong contest contender.

It’s a lovely story, told in a solid manner, and while there is melancholy to be sure, there is also hope; a pleasant way to spend a winter’s night. Jeanne McCartin, SeacoastOnline.com, NH
