Night of the Fae is a play about the faerie thief, Night. It is based on a 17th-century fairy tale by Virginia Tithen, and was adapted for the stage by Terry Ailes.

Synopsis[edit]

Act 1[edit]

A shepherd owes a debt to a faerie named Night. As the shepherd is unable to repay the debt, Night steals various objects from him and leaves useless replicas in their place.

Act 2[edit]

The shepherd decides to take revenge on Night, and so seeks counsel from dark forces. He consults a witch, a druid and a demon in turn, and is warned away from his course by the local villagers. He decides to trick Night into stealing his own name.

Act 3[edit]

The shepherd's plan works, and Night is tricked. He retaliates by stealing and replacing all he can from the shepherd: his land, his family, his happiness and other things. Finally, Night steals the shepherd's mortality, leaving behind a replica which curses the shepherd to be reborn repeatedly, generation after generation.
