Recipient of Chicago’s Jefferson Award for Best Play in 2018, The Light is a visceral, real-time rollercoaster ride that sees a loving relationship rocked by secrets from the past. When we are introduced to Genesis and Rashad, it’s during the romantic high of a heartfelt marriage proposal. The happy plans are suddenly derailed, however, by an accusation of sexual assault that threatens to rip apart their bond of love and trust. “…the #MeToo play you didn’t know you wanted, but that you need to see.” — Nylon
