Casey, a medical student home for Chanukah, tries vainly to get her mother Anna to pay her a little attention. When Paul, Casey’s older brother and peripatetic poet-songwriter, shows up. Light gives us a peak through the curtain of a broken family trying to heal.
Through out the COVID pandemic, theatre artists have had to re-think how create and share stories. Light is produced remotely, with both creatives and performers in their own respective homes. A unique fusion on theatre and film, light uses elements of both mediums to spark the audiences' imagination.
