Little Light
A dark, volatile new play that asks if we can ever let go.
Reminiscing.
Once a year to tell stories.
To share little bits of our little lives.
A house by the sea. Teddy wants more light. He’s knocked that staircase down. Alison is soaked through. She’s livid. Clarissa’s ready to burst. They can’t keep meeting like this.
