In this article, in dialogue with specialized critics who have focused on José Saramago’s dramaturgy, I propose a reinterpretation of his first play. I will insist on the direct realism that the writer wanted to instill in his first foray into dramaturgy. To do this, I will focus on the language, style and ideology of A Noite, a dramatic place in which Saramago interweaves social and human situations that are as radically “real” as they are irreducibly allegorical and, therefore, timeless.
