Murder, arson and traumatic tragedy abound in this groundbreaking new drama by soon to be award-winning playwright Sebastian Maroun. A middle class family is pushed to the brink when their patriarch discovers he is going blind. As his vision fades, details of torrid affairs come to light which threaten to tear the family apart. The only thing that can save them is the journalistic instinct of their young daughter and a helpful stray dog who may not be what he seems. This is a normal staged reading. Everything is fine. Why wouldn't it be?

About The Sacred Order of the Shining Emblem (New York, USA)

A Thousand Rainy Mornings is a dark comedy and contemporary drama by The Sacred Order of the Shining Emblem (New York, USA), a professional company, performed at the studio venue at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. Written by playwright Sebastian Maroun, the show follows a middle-class family pushed to the brink when the patriarch discovers he is going blind. As his vision fades, details of torrid affairs emerge and threaten to tear the family apart. The one hope of saving them lies with the journalistic instinct of their young daughter — and a helpful stray dog who may not be what he seems. Presented as a staged reading, it runs for 75 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

A staged reading that sounds anything but ordinary: murder, arson, blindness, affairs, a suspicious dog and a playwright who apparently expects great things of himself. Deliberately playful about its own ambitions, this is dark comedy with an unusual sense of self-awareness.
