The Night Logan Woke Up

As she prepares for the funeral alongside her three brothers, a shocking revelation is unearthed in her mother’s will; the final devastating consequence of the night Logan woke up.   Surreal, daring, and darkly funny, The Night Logan Woke Up is one of Bouchard’s finest works, making its long-awaited English language world premiere.
