In 24 short hours, Jack will go to prison to serve a five-year sentence.
Tonight, for the first time since the sudden death of the parents one year earlier, Jack’s family is summoned to the ancestral home for his farewell dinner.
What begins as a civil, if not joyful, reunion filled with food, drink, and acerbic conversation, quickly devolves into a morally questionable whirlwind of regret, revelation and reversal.
As they duke it out in a half-savage, half-civilized fashion, these characters and the truths behind their long history of conflict and tragedy are unveiled.
A Night for Dying Tigers is a dark and heartfelt portrait of a family on the edge of disintegration.
